Joanne's place was perfect for my first trip to New Orleans. Loved its quirky flair which is such a theme in this city! Joanne made check in super easy and allowed us use of many areas while she was also living in the house. Be aware that you will not have a way to lock your items up while you are out. This did not present a problem for me, but others may be less trusting. Also, you'll want to be sure not to walk after dark. Ubers arrive very quickly and it's only a short distance to the amaaaazing live music of Frenchmen St. and the rest of the French Quarter. Comfy king-size bed is always a plus. A great place to stay (for adventurous adults).
