I could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting for a conference. Leesaw is a gracious host, who strikes a wonderful balance between attentiveness and respect for privacy. Her home is beyond charming, in a quintessential New Orleans neighborhood. The private bedroom with adjoining bathroom felt like a luxuriously retreat, after spending my days attending lectures and networking with colleagues in a giant chain hotel in the French Quarter. And I especially appreciated the use of a bike, which I used to bike all over the city to decompress after the day's activities. I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Leesaw, and her pups, to those folks who want to sink in and get a real feel for what makes New Orleans so amazing.
