We spent our first few nights in Nola at Melissa's place, it was perfectly located near our friends with an assortment of cute bars and coffee shops within walking distance. The space has an airy, southern feel and was great for a couple (there was an extra bed we didn't need to use, if you want to fit a few more people!) - we enjoyed the full kitchen and dining room, and played a few games of chess on the chess set! It was a great value, and I would stay again.
