If you're looking for an incredible value and great hospitality, Melanie and Eric are as good of hosts as it gets. Their place is really homey and comfortable. It's just a short trip from the downtown areas, and it's nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood after a long day or night. They're locals, and have valuable info/recommendations you won't find from most places, as well as some great stories if you want to chat. They're respectful of your space, but are always willing to provide anything if you ask. I couldn't have asked for a better first trip to NOLA.
