Barbara's place is a five star for several reasons: The location (Garden District) is superb. It's a very short distance from Magazine St. and all the great New Orleans' restaurants. The house itself is a wonderful combination of artistic décor and homey comfort. It is also sparkling clean and spacious, with good-sized rooms and a private patio. Barbara herself is warm, generous, and welcoming--a great host. If you are in New Orleans and need a place to stay, we highly recommend this place.
