GiGi is the definition of southern hospitality. Do not let the area deter you from this amazing home. My family of 6 (including 4 children under 8) felt safe and comfortable our entire stay! Gigi’s place is no more than 5-10 minute drive to all the New Orleans hot spots. The street is well lit, the beds are SO comfortable, the shower is perfect! There is a CASTLE that my kids were able to see from the backyard. She even had a box full of toys in the kids room for them to play with. She allowed us to wash/dry our laundry before we left, which is so helpful for our large family. GiGi made us feel like family, even preparing breakfast!! We will definitely be back soon and will forever stay with GiGi! I felt like I was staying with my grandmother for the weekend and my kids hated to leave. She knew everyone by name by the time we left. You will NOT regret your stay. This is a true New Orleans experience and we are forever grateful.
