Fern is a fabulous host with great recommendations + quick replies to any questions! She is very helpful + nice. Our family met there from Iowa, Texas + Florida for a fun Christmas trip. We enjoyed NOLA. Even though some areas are a bit rough, we had no trouble at all. Everyone we met was super friendly, wishing us Merry Christmas + Happy New Year. We walked for fitness every morning + all the people we came across were friendly! We highly recommend Fern's place!
