We really enjoyed our 5 nights here in New Orleans. Our room was clean and quiet, there are 2x shared bathrooms which were kept clean and there was never any queues for the bathrooms. We didn't see much of the host or other guests until the last few days but when we did Margaret was up for a chat and the other guests were friendly and had advice on what to do in NOLA. The snacks and water were a nice touch too. The house itself is a beautifully renovated shotgun house with art created by Julienne on the walls.

Location: Guests should know that the home is located on the edge of the Treme, which historically is a dangerous area to walk, many locals told us not to walk here especially at night. We caught Uber's to and from the French quarter after dark and felt okay walking through here during the day onto the French Quarter (10 min walk), probably not a good idea to walk around here with large SLR cameras etc displaying your obvious "tourist wealth". You may not feel comfortable walking here as a solo traveller. However having said that, families waved out to us and greeted us with welcoming smiles. My advice is be friendly, be alert, walk with purpose - the area has a bad reputation but things are changing.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again - thanks Julienne and Margaret! :)
