Charla is a great host and we got to hang out together a few times. She can give recommendations which restaurants and bars to go to and she helped with everything I needed. Her place is not too far from downtown which can meet reached by streetcar or a 10-15$ taxi ride. I especially enjoyed to take her bike out: a great way to see New Orleans. St. Charles Street and Magazine Street are close by. Charla is a great and fun host to stay with!
