Amanda made my stay in New Orleans wonderful. She and her family were so welcoming and generous. I stayed for a week and couldn't have asked for a better location or host. Her home is right by the St Charles street car which makes traveling to the French Quarter easy. I felt very safe in her neighborhood, and was able to take public transportation or walk for the entire trip with no issues. She made it a point to get to know us and make us feel at home. She also is so willing to give great suggestions on things to do/eat throughout your trip. I would highly recommend staying with Amanda when traveling to New Orleans.
