Mrs. Talmadge was an excellent host. To start off she was already at the house waiting for our arrival so we did not have to wait to get in. She went out of her way to make us feel at home, and let us know of all the things to do in New Orleans. The fridge was packed with food and the kitchen had all sorts of snacks for us to eat. The house was very clean and homey. I will definitely be calling Talmadge to stay again next time I am in New Orleans.
