This was the greatest experience. Kim's home is so cute and perfect for a trip with your significant other. The location is not far from Tulane so the neighborhood is beautiful. The street car, which we rode everyday through the city (1 ride is $1.25 and a day pass is $3.00) is very close and beyond convenient.
There are a number of local eateries in the area too. I recommend eating at the Camellia Grill at least once on your trip.
The street the home is on is very, very nice and picturesque and you can even pop down and see the river which is also about a block away. I really will stay at Kim's house next time I'm in New Orleans. She's a great host and was very quick with responses when I had the smallest questions. The best!
