We loved our stay with Charla! Prior to our visit, Charla responded to texts promptly and provided all the info we needed for a smooth arrival. She is a very warm and welcoming hostess and her dog Tilly is very sweet. (Charla has a big heart and sometimes fosters dogs and cares for friends' dogs, so there may be other dogs there as well.) We stayed for 10 days and Charla encouraged us to make ourselves at home; she allowed us to use her washer and dryer and to make coffee and store food in the fridge. We truly felt like we were staying with a dear friend. The layout of the house affords a great deal of privacy. The bedroom is large, and the bed is very comfortable. Our private bathroom was clean and the shower has good water pressure. Charla's home is about five blocks from St. Charles Avenue where you can catch a streetcar and just a few blocks from the #91 bus line that goes to the edge of the French Quarter and Frenchmen St. It is also pretty close to Magazine Street's great restaurants and bars. The neighborhood is up-and-coming (a lot of renovation going on); we felt safe and had no issues. We took Uber and Lyft when returning late at night. Charla had no problem with our comings and goings. We look forward to staying with Charla again!
