Everything was as described! Mary and her husband, Nagendra, were very friendly and welcoming. Their home was beautiful, clean, and homey, and had all the amenities of a hotel, if not more! For example, there is an iron/ironing board, hair dryer, shower caps, Q-tips, towels, dresser space, an extra side room to hang out or play games, and the bed was very comfortable! Food was provided for breakfast every morning, along with juice and coffee. There was also a bowl of snacks and fruits available for guests. Mary was extremely responsive and flexible. Nearby their house there is a breakfast place, Walgreens, bus stops, Chase, etc. It does require public transportation or uber/lyft to get to the French Quarter, WWII museum, etc. but it's only ~10-15min drive or ~30 min bus ride. There is also a trolley stop right down the street for those who want that experience. I will definitely try to stay here again if I come back to New Orleans!
