This was my first visit to New Orleans so wanted to combine the usual touristy visits with an opportunity to visit the Ninth district as well. My husband and I stayed one night in Rashida's lovely home before departing on an early flight home. It gave us a chance to visit a beautiful neighbourhood with extraordinary character homes and to meet and chat with the warmest, loveliest people imaginable. Rashida's home itself is a delight; just what I imagined a local character home to be with high ceilings, hardwood floors, window shutters, spare furnishings which overall led to a tasteful, elegant effect. I especially liked the quiet coolness of the bedroom and the surprisingly large bathroom with its clawfoot tub! Rashida's home is ideal for one or two guests travelling with a vehicle and are on a flexible timeline who wish to experience this special neighbourhood firsthand. Visitors should appreciate this is an "off the beaten path" sort of venue, but absolutely worth the stay to experience the district's unique vitality. My husband and I would certainly love to return and enjoy the stay on a slower, more relaxed itinerary. Thank you Rashida for a most pleasant, enjoyable, experience.
