We really enjoyed staying at Melissa's home. It was an authentic NOLA shotgun house. We loved the sitting room and enjoyed spending time there with the doors open and a warm breeze coming into the room. Sharing the kitchen space with Melissa was very easy. The house and neighborhood were so quiet and peaceful and we had our privacy. We loved walking around the neighborhood and going to some of the bars and restaurants. We loved our stay in NOLA and at Melissa's.
