We stayed here for 10 days at the beginning of October and Lawrence was hosting. St Joan's is a beautiful house in a quiet neighbourhood. The house is well equipped and has good air conditioning which was very appreciated. It is quite a walk into the French District but we found a local bus which stops just round the corner from the house and we also used Ubers which were very reasonable. We were there during Hurricane Nate and coming from England, we were not sure what to expect. However, Lawrence reassured us and kept us up to date. Elizabeth's is a great place for breakfast (within walking distance) and we had a lovely evening at Bacchanal. There is also a microbrewery (two minutes walk) which my daughter and her partner rated. Vaughan's bar is also just across the road. We all had a fantastic time in New Orleans (our first trip there) and St Joan's is a great place to stay.
