Dani went way above and beyond to welcome us to New Orleans. She bought a Pack'N Play crib when she found out we were coming with our baby, she let us store our bags in her personal garage for a day, she even left us an adorable welcome note in French (my wife's from France). The house is lovely -- newly remodeled but without losing its charm. One thing to know if you're renting as a group is that it's a traditional shotgun-style house, so you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the next. Also good to know: the bikes outside are for you to use! (We only realized that on the last day, when we finally read all the way through the very helpful guidebook/welcome book.) The French quarter is about a half-hour walk-and-streetcar ride away. It's easy and convenient, though if you're traveling with little ones, like us, you may want a car. The neighborhood is residential and chill. It's a historic New Orleans area and everyone we met was very friendly. The welcome book (definitely worth reading -- before the last day!) has recommendations for some awesome restaurants. Bottom line: great host and great place!
