Adrienne welcomed us like family as did her mellow dogs, Lobie and Moxie, showed us all around and took us to our room, which we loved. There's a private balcony to watch the sunrise and sip a glass of something delicious in the evening. The bathroom is not large, so plan on one person at a time; however, the shower is huge. Their home is perfectly located to walk everywhere. Restaurants aplenty and stores galore are minutes away, and you walk through gorgeous neighborhoods beneath live oaks to get there. There's a small pool in the backyard, well maintained, which is perfect after a walk. Just remember it's a house people live in, so don't expect absolute silence. But it's a heckuva house - 19th C, grand architecture, a living historical artifact with 12' ceilings - all in cypress wood. It's the Big Easy, and Adrienne fits right in, and her graciousness allows you to slip into the mellow flow of this magic city.
