Catherine is a really great host and incredibly responsive! We stayed for a little over 6 weeks and found the location to be excellent. Frenchmen Street and all the great music is merely a couple blocks away; there are wonderful neighborhood restaurants and bakeries; and all of the French Quarter is also two blocks away. Perfect! The R Bar is very close, which is fun for the most part, but can be a little noisy on weekends. Adds to the charm, overall. The house itself is comfortable and well stocked. There's some history there as noted in the books on the coffee table. We plan to return! Kathleen & Al
