We booked with Mimsie one day before heading to NOLA so we were thrilled with her quick reply and flexibility to our last minute planning. The location was pretty much exactly where we wanted -- west of downtown craziness, near the streetcar, close to Magazine St. shops. The approach from Tchoupitoulas was a bit more industrial than I thought, but when I learned the streets up to Magazine it felt like more of a neigborhood. Despite the industrial history of the area the house was amazingly quiet (just morning trash trucks, like any city block) and I appreciated the off street parking. The room was totally fine, great for sleeping in and resting after social adventures, all amenities solid and clean and totally adequate for a home base of NOLA fun. Little to no overlap with the host, though she gave us excellent tips from downtown parking to delicious food and local music - much appreciated!
