Miriam is an extraordinary host. Her genuine caring and attention to detail amps this spacious immaculately clean apartment up to a sanctuary like atmosphere. It truly felt like a home away from home. Miriam’s clear respect for personal boundaries while also being accessible for questions put me at ease from our first meeting. The apartment is spacious with 3 huge beds, a fully supplied eat-in kitchen and bathroom. There is a TV and separate desk area with a wide array of maps, brochures and local magazines. There is a fun porch swing and the neighbors were friendly and helpful. Enjoying the community I traveled mostly on the buses –even left the house in the dark one morning to take the bus to a conference at the Roosevelt Hotel (it began at 7 am!) My thing is walking but cabs are very accessible.
You can walk to the French Quarter, the museum and sculpture garden and other places a short bus or cab ride away from the apartment.
The apartment has plenty of space to share with others but I opted for the peace of a whole apartment to myself. The experience for me was that I enjoyed living in New Orleans for a short while in a great apartment. Enormous thanks to you Miriam.
