Chelsea's place was awesome. If you're looking for a genuine NOLA stay - either for a family or for a 2-4 person get-together, the place was great. Some highlights/nice touches:
- Having WWOZ on when we walked into the house (NOLA jazz station)
- the Voodoo chips/masks/snacks welcome package
- games for the kids (apples-to-apples, Uno, etc.)
- Only one TV - this was a good thing, in our opinion!
- accessibility to Magazine Street, St. Charles, the breathtaking homes in the Garden District, The St. Charles/Jackson stop for the Streetcar/RTA
I had to check in with Chelsea once during the visit (we needed a can opener) and she was "Johnny on the Spot" from a response time; she got it over to us inside of 2 minutes (she and her family live next door).
We walked a lot and interacted with several residents of the neighborhood - nice people, all around.
The ONLY knock I'd say is that the front door is slightly ajar so at night - if you end up crashing on the futon - you may feel a slight draft. That's honestly the only thing I could nitpick on, if need be.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic experience, a great host, and I'd go back in a heartbeat.
