We spent a long weekend in NOLA, primarily for a daughter's tour at Tulane, but also simply to enjoy the city. A stay in Wendy's delightful place will introduce you to a great residential neighborhood. Given the hoards of tourists usually in town, it's hard to find a spot where you can immerse yourself in the locals' world, away from the craziness and commercialism in and around the French Quarter / CBD / Warehouse District. There are relatively undiscovered gems throughout Uptown, so you could spend a few days just in this area, but you're also a quick / easy 15-20 minute ride to City Park / Fairgrounds, the Quarter/CBD or the dining and shopping on Magazine. You're also only a few short blocks to the Tulane campus: this would be a great spot for a parents' weekend. Wendy has put together a great space. Thoughtfully decorated with attractive art / photography, along with some New Orleans themed items but no over-the-top gaudiness. Feels more like a comfortable home. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds dangerously comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped; everything we needed was there, easy to find, all of it in good working order. Wendy's local guide is full of great ideas, but she was also kind enough point out several cool ideas that just happened to be going on while we were visiting. She's a native, and friendly, so take advantage of her deep knowledge of the city. Is there something we'd want to be better? Well, the streets are still in lousy shape, not just in this neighborhood but all over the city. Keep that in mind if you bring you own or rent a car.
