I felt so, so incredibly lucky to have the chance to stay at Dawn Marie's! Our other booking fell through at the last minute, which is scary when you've already booked plane tickets and are anticipating a NOLA Thanksgiving. She totally rescued our holiday, and answered all of our replies in a prompt, friendly manner. It was sheer luck that we got to stay here.

Her house is beautiful, centrally located, and in a totally safe neighborhood. We felt like we were staying in a piece of New Orleans history, which made for such a special experience. There's no way we could've gotten this experience in some generic hotel. The house was spacious enough to easily accommodate our party of 6, and for as much as our host jokes that the kitchen is rarely used, it was perfect for making a big Thanksgiving meal. We actually didn't get a chance to use a few parts of the beautiful house because it was so spacious (like the nice balconies). Each room was classy, and the beds were sooo comfortable.

All in all, we couldn't have had a better place to stay for the holidays. Thanks a million, Dawn Marie!
