Joanne is a very accommodating, laid back host. As soon as me and my sister entered the house she was putting fresh, clean sheets on our beds. She also has a very friendly, sweet cat who I just loved! She told us how to get to the French Quarters which is no more then 5 minutes walking distance and easy to find. Me and my sister are usually quiet but she didn't seem to mind when we cooked a little food in the middle of the night. I definitely recommend staying at her place if you plan to visit NO.
