The house is outside the area of busy traffic and hectic pace that characterizes downtown New Orleans, but is on a major residential street with convenient access to tourist areas of the city, restaurants, and sightseeing. You'll need a car to get around. Theresa's place is an older home that has been renovated, is well maintained and thoughtfully furnished. We found it to be comfortable and with all the conveniences we needed. Theresa was respectful of our privacy but was available to respond to anything we needed.
