Room and home is amazingly beautiful and stylishly decorated. To underscore this point, the artwork is actual artwork, not framed prints, etc. Some of it may lead the inquisitive tenant to ask more about it. Other points of interest are that Jeanne and Mark invite full access to kitchen and living area. With high ceilings and large open spaces, this home creates a very relaxing space. If you are a TV addict, this is probably not the BnB for you. (I don’t recall even seeing a TV). This space invites creativity. Bathroom is impeccable with beautiful tiled floor.
Hosts, Jeanne and Mark are an absolute joy to engage in conversation. With backgrounds in art and music, their is no shortage of things to talk about. In fact, I found them both very intelligent, engaging and were a rare 1 in a 1000 gems to talk with. Wish they were my next door neighbors. With that being said, they are the type of hosts that will engage as little or as much as you wish. However, if should wish to be asocial, you will miss an opportunity to meet some interesting people. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Mikimoti, their sweet but very shy dog.
A note to other vegetarian travelers, we would recommend using the kitchen or eating at Good Karma Cafe as veg options in NoLa are few and far between and Beignets only go so far. Do not be duped by Happy Cow “veg friendly” recommendations. Review menus online before trying. Also try Panchita’s Mexican just about 200m from the BnB. We did have other recommendations such as Seed but did not try it.
You can’t go wrong here.
