We really enjoyed our stay at Melanie and Eric's. The house is very clean and charming and we could even bring a book home if we wanted to! Easy access to bus and quiet and picturesque neighbourhood near local authentic Cajun food cafes. If you come to New Orleans for the music scene you won't be disappointed as Eric is a trumpet player and you can get to hear him play during the day. I got one of is CDs as a great souvenir..
