Karen is one of my all-time favorite Airbnb hosts; she's gracious, thoughtful, and easygoing. Algiers Point is a quiet, distinctive neighborhood of New Orleans and is a restful, low-key alternative to the fun and hubbub of the French Quarter. Karen is also a sommelier and master chef, so please make sure to take advantage of one her amazing cooking classes, in which she imparts, in spirited fashion, some of the fundamentals of Creole and Cajun cuisine. I've really loved my stays and classes with her.
