This was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had, way better than hotel I've ever stayed at (and cheaper too!). From the get-go, Karen greeted me with warmth and hospitality in a gorgeous house. The bedroom was well furnished huge bed, and there two balconies to enjoy all the flowers in bloom. Breakfast the next day was better than any restaurant nearby (freaking crawfish ettoufee over eggs, people). Karen and her husband fed me, gave me wine, told me so much about New Orleans and its people, and just treated me to lively conversation. I seriously felt like I was staying with family. The only downside to my stay is that I could only stay one night!
