Francoise is an excellent hostess! The place was so clean and so beautifully decorated with lots of personal touches. I loved the location as it was convenient to so many places to eat out. I especially loved it's access to an outstanding bakery right down the street which you should not miss. So many restaurants to choose from and so close to her home. An outstanding hummus restaurant is less than 100 steps away. You really can't beat this place for location, especially if you are looking for a quieter option than the French Quarter. This place is perfect for people who enjoy peace and quiet with fabulous dining and several options for things to do close by or within a streetcar trip away. I LOVED this place. I would definitely return!
