The pictures did not do the home justice! After 10 hours in the car, we were so happy to open the door to Jenna's beautiful, cozy home and call it our temporary home. It was less than 15 minutes walking to the French Quarter, which was great since we were able to go there and have that experience, but then we came home to our quiet house with ample parking. Since we had a car, we were able to explore other sections of town, but there were cabs in the neighborhood regularly, so we could easily have hailed one. The area immediately around the house seemed pretty safe (though we were sure to lock the gate and house when we left and re-entered) and we walked a good bit. The neighborhood is quite diverse and friendly and we enjoyed chatting with some of the people who lived in the area. Oh, and the cafe next door was a pleasant surprise -- good music, good food/drinks, nice service, interesting clientele, free WiFi -- it was a very convenient amenity to have so nearby. Thanks, Jenna, for a wonderful stay in NOLA, we definitely hope to come back again!
