Our stay with Emily coincided with the aftermath of Hurricane Zeta. Considering the circumstances and lack of power, Emily was outstanding in her communication and efforts to ensure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the blackout. The house is clean and spacious and the atmosphere is lovely. The artwork and vast library helped keep us occupied and made her home feel like our own. We couldn’t have chosen a better host to stay with during such tempestuous times! The neighborhood is lovely. There are some local pubs, coffee shops and restaurants just steps away that make this such a convenient location. (Make sure y’all visit Pepp’s Pub! Where you’ll surely find a friend or two). Frenchmen and the Quarter are within walking distance and there are plenty of stoop kittens and colors to see along the way. If you’re a bookworm or an artist or just looking for a cozy at home experience in New Orleans, Emily is your gal! (written by my travel companion, Donald)
