Miss Gwen and her home for past 70+ years are delightful, helpful and unusual. Beautiful, historic communal hall with basic en suite bedrooms. No air con which didn't trouble us in spring but might in the summer. Not in a touristy area (in Treme, about 6 blocks to the French Quarter so only 10 mins walk) which we really liked and felt safe but NOLA does have significant crime issues, so Miss Gwen recommends Uber at night.
New Orleans is THE place!
