Catherine was a great host. My mother and I planned a trip to New Orleans for 1 week and were warmly welcomed by Catherine upon arrival. I must also say that it seems she well curates her guests. Because another mother - daughter duo was staying at the house at the same time as we were which was really nice.... maybe a coincidence but well received nonetheless. Age group was also perfect for my mother and I. An older couple also stayed at the house. My mother and I also loved them and got along with them pretty well. Essentially, the people vibe was relaxed. Just what my mother especially would have wanted. If that was deliberate Catherine, that was great planning. If serendipitous, I'm grateful to the cosmos.

Catherine was also very flexible, communicative, available, and just great company.

the space was always clean and stocked full of breakfast.

I loved the back and front porch. For a New Yorker like me, those outdoor peaceful spaces mean everything.

Location is close to French Quarter as described.

Great dining options nearby.

Great informational books in the house. They were very useful in finding local Mid City Places to eat and places in any and every other neighborhood in NOLA! I'm really happy I stayed in Mid City too. Great place. Hospitable people.

Great A/C

The sound of the cars outside can be loud for light sleepers... As dawn breaks a truck or two seem to rumble and roar by. lol. My mother and I are heavy sleepers so it didn't matter too much.

All in all, very healthy, positive experience. Away from the crazy of French Quarter, but close enough to be very much a part of the action. I would definitely recommend it for all.

Thank you Catherine for absolutely everything.
