Karen was a perfect host! She greeted us at the house- welcomed us as if we were her own personal guests. Too many personal touches to mention all- bagels, cream cheese, coffee & cream,bananas (a hit with the children!) toiletries, books/pamphlets on local attractions/restaurants. The homes location is prime!! A very short walk to the streetcar, Magazine St and the heart of the Garden District. The home is on a very quiet street and is very private. Gated, off street parking is a bonus that you cannot appreciate until you have stayed in the City. The courtyard is a beautiful, peaceful area to have coffee or a drink. The interior is beautiful, comfortable, practical & spacious. The bedrooms are very large as well as the bathrooms. It was so nice to have a first floor half bath! Kitchen is large, modern and is FULLY equipped. We rented both sides of the house and had plenty of room for our family of 14 to spread out. We were in NOLA for our sons wedding and we had two stylists from Albert Brown Salon come to the house on wedding day to do hair and make-up. Myself, 2 daughters, two granddaughters and 2 grandmothers all looked stunning when the girls were done working their magic! We would absolutely stay here again!!
