Melanie and her husband were the best hosts! They get an A++ from us. Melanie was incredibly kind both in person and in her emails. She was fantastic at communicating with me. They accommodated our special circumstances and even helped with recommendations when we were planning our trip. Their tips helped a ton when I was trying to pick between activities. They lead us to some great food places. Their home was in a nice, safe, quiet family neighborhood. I had my teenage daughter with me and we never felt unsafe at any time. Our room and bathroom were separate from the rest of the house so We had plenty of privacy. We had a car so we did not use public transportation too often but buses were close by. They are only a short drive to the French Quarter and airport. I highly recommend them to anyone. You could not ask for a better space to stay or more welcoming hosts. If I can convince my husband to accompany me on a trip to New Orleans I know I want to stay with Melanie again.
