Our experience with Mary was excellent. We arrived in New Orleans extremely late and she left us easy to follow instructions on how to get in to our room and cold drinks in the fridge! Our interactions with our host were minimal and pleasant. The room is the front-half of a beautifully maintained traditional New Orleans shotgun house outfitted with a full bathroom and remodeled to afford full privacy. There is not a full kitchen, but the microwave, minifridge, coffee-maker, and proximity to Magazine St. prevent this from being a problem. Located Uptown, just one block from Magazine St. and an easy walk to the Garden District and street cars on St. Charles there is more to do in the immediate vicinity than could be accomplished in several years time. We were so comfortable in the house that we felt like we lived in the city, and yet we found ourselves out exploring more than we were home. Parking is easy and we felt perfectly safe for the duration of our stay. If you plan on staying here in the future, you are going to have to contend with us, because we will be coming back.
