Rashida went above and beyond to provide an amazing experience.
Her home is luxurious - it felt like living in a cozy art museum. She has a great view of the levee and downtown.
Everything was provided.
Not knowing NOLA, I had trepidations about staying in the lower 9th ward. My fears were unfounded as Rashida's neighborhood is very pleasant, quiet and steps from the river. Services are few, but the bus to down town is 3 blocks away and convenient. Cafe Dauphin is extremely elegant and 2 blocks away. While not touristy, the coffee at the gas station is good and 3 blocks away.
Best of all Rashida is an excellent host. She loves her house and wants you to be very comforable here.
