What a house to experience New Orleans from, and what a host! We were 7 ladies travelling from Australia and trying to get a real feel of the place and people and that we did at Nancy's.

The house is just as pictured and described with plenty of space and more than enough essentials for a large group (linen, towels, full kitchen etc). The neighbourhood is becoming gentrified but by no means pretentious nor squalid at the other extreme. It was an easy cab ride to the French Quarter and business district for around $12. We felt like we got a really good feel of life in New Orleans.

But on top of this, Nancy herself made our stay so easy and comfortable. She was so attentive on the lead up to our trip and had really great non-touristy tips for food, music and places to see. And she was a wonderful help in arranging a cake for one of our lady's birthday. She was always at hand when needed but never 'in your face or space'. A truely exceptional and very cool host. Loved her fur kids too, Jules the dog and Oscar the waddling hog!!!

If you want to feel as much like a NOLA local as you can as a visitor, then definitely stay at Nancy's!!!
