Truedell was a fantastic host. We were coming later in the evening and she gave us great food tips and made us feel welcome.
We did have some trouble with the shower the evening we arrived. (It would only spray unbearably hot water. It looked like someone had yanked the handle the wrong way and misaligned the temperature gauge.) Truedell was able to get workmen in the next morning at an agreed upon time who were friendly and fixed the problem quickly. As an added bonus, we learned how to fix the temperature in the shower.
The decorations at the house were festive and made us feel like we had arrived in New Orleans. We also found it easy and safe to walk down to the French Quarter.
Parking is on the street, but we always found a spot right in front of the house. This is a house worth staying at if you find yourself in New Orleans.
