I loved Karen's place. Karen was an excellent host--she was warm and welcoming, and it was lovely to chat with her. Breakfast was always delicious, as was the meal I was able to join one of her cooking classes. The house was beautiful, and the room itself was very comfortable. The place is within walking distance of the ferry to the 'lively' side of New Orleans, and traveling back and forth was not at all inconvenient. I really wouldn't change anything about my stay, and I'd definitely come back.
