Zoie's house is absolutely beautiful! You will love its atmosphere and its decoration. We finally haven't met, but we communicated very easily during our stay.
I loved being a little bit away from the French quarter which can be very busy and noisy. In 5 or 10 minutes walk you reach the Frenchmen street and the French Quarter with all their jazz/blues places.
New Orleans is an amazing city, full of history and with a beautiful architecture. We loved it and really want to go there again as soon as possible!
