Our host was wonderfully welcoming and very kind and helpful during our stay. We were there for NYE. She made a very special effort to help us navigate a busy NOLA holiday and even treated us to a traditional homemade meal! The space was ideal for our group of eight -- adults and teenagers -- with plenty of common areas to hang out, play cards, watch TV and share meals. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare full meals as often as we wished. The house is on a street with a lot of traffic. The porch is comfy though a bit too noisy for a quiet morning coffee. The immediate neighborhood is fine, not great, but it's very close to a quieter, more residential area with a cluster of good restaurants and a small grocery store. Overall, an excellent place to stay in NOLA!
