Lisa (aka Zara) is a great host. She was flexible and responded quickly, and she even gave me a book I was in the middle of reading when we left.
Her place is kind of a two story shotgun, so guests stay in the bottom half. I thought noise might be a problem, but she was really careful to be quiet upstairs, and the neighborhood was remarkably quiet as well. I loved the sunny kitchen and courtyard in the back. It's definitely an old house that needs some TLC and has some old house quirks, but it's as classic New Orleans as you can get.
And the location is fantastic. The street has a nice neighborhood feel, yet it's only one block away from the St. Roch Market, where you could eat all week and have something different every day, and the New Orleans Food Co-op, a small local grocery with healthy options, which is in the same building as a yoga studio (not that I got around to that). There are about 3 coffee shops within a few blocks, Mimi's Bar (as well as a corner bar on the same block as the BnB), and so much more. Plenty of restaurants and the jazz clubs on Frenchman are all walkable, and of course the Marigny is great to walk around in generally. Street parking is also no problem--we parked right in front most of the week.
