My cousin and I stayed in Catherine's 'Twin Dormer' in Mid City for Jazz Fest weekend. If you value affordability in price, quality in accommodations, and courtesy from your host, I don't think you will find a better deal in New Orleans.

Newly built and renovated, the two-story house is in pristine condition. We shared the upstairs of the house with two other 'residents' (and a bathroom with one other). Every resident was respectful of the others' space and needs. In our bedroom, the beds were comfortable and the closet had enough space for our clothes. The room interior is relatively Spartan. There is a dresser in the bedroom (which not visible in the cover photo) that has ample space for clothes.

The kitchen on the first floor serves as a communal eating area. There is a long counter top with chairs. Catherine provides complimentary water, coffee, fruit, and yogurt; there is ample space in the fridge for your own food. Each morning, Catherine writes out interesting events and concerts around town on a white board across from the fridge. There are two other sitting rooms downstairs adjacent to the kitchen, if you want to hang out.

I highly recommend a stay at the Twin Dormer the next time you are in New Orleans.
