Karen's place was perfect for us as a couple - close to the action but in a quiet location, Algier's Point. It was like staying in a real home, not a hotel. We found it easy and convenient to take the Algier's Point Ferry. It was an easy walk each way. The Algier's neighborhood was charming and felt safe. We loved Barracuda's tacos which was close by Karen's house. The breakfasts Karen prepared were top-notch. Taking the Cooking Class on a Friday evening made our stay even better! We learned so much about Creole and Cajun cooking; I had no idea how little I knew. Each of us participated. Then, eating the results, oh my goodness!
