This was the first time I've gone on vacation and wanted to spend more time lounging around than going out! Jean's home is absolutely stunning - a perfect sanctuary in the French Quarter. The pictures really don't do it justice. We vacationed with another couple and really enjoyed having all the space - we were here for a week and never once felt cramped. The bedrooms are SO QUIET - it was amazing to have the quiet space available when you need to escape the hustle and bustle. (When we got home, my husband and I actually started researching the type of glass they have on their windows in the bedrooms so we can remodel our own!) We loved being just a few minutes' walk from Jackson Square and having so many amazing restaurants and shops right outside our door.
Jean was an amazingly attentive host, and incredibly kind to boot! (She had the most delicious birthday cake waiting for one of our birthday boys when we arrived!) Before we arrived, she sent us a great list of restaurants, attractions, etc. in the area and gave us a local's insight on what was not to be missed, which was invaluable. She checked in with us when we arrived, and a few times over the course of our stay, to make sure we were comfortable and ask if we needed anything. She's so gracious and genuine!
