Jo’s place was the perfect spot for our first-time visit to New Orleans and as first-time spectators of Mardi Gras. Before I continue to praise our stay, I’d like to acknowledge Jo as an amazing host! She is very accommodating, allowed us to drop off our bags early due to an earlier arrival. She responds promptly to messages and has an amazingly tidy, clean well kept home. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Rose room, which was spacious and very welcoming. The room included a dresser, a vanity mirror with an extra compartmentalized desk, and of course a very comfy bed. Everything is within walking range, the famous Frenchmen street bar scene is just a few blocks away and if you keep walking down that street you can manage to make it all the way to the French Quarter. There’s also the streetcar stop as soon as you exit her home and a SoBi bike rental station nearby. As mentioned by other guests there are two pets, one loving golden retriever and a very affectionate cat. They, for the most part, stay in the living room and rarely go in the hallway where the rooms are located. I strongly recommend Jo’s place when you visit New Orleans. I would surely stay there again.
