Karen is super nice and communicates quickly. She actually stays in the other half of the duplex (which i didn’t realize this was), and often popped over unexpectedly. I wasn’t expecting to have to meet the host, but she knew i was coming in for my birthday and bought a king cake (which she insisted we leave some behind for her) and got us acquainted with parade maps, beads and other surprises. The place looks like the photos, so we knew what to expect going in. The chairs were hard and beds are a bit uncomfortable (one bowed in the middle and the other was just really firm & bouncy), but that isn’t the reason for the visit so we dealt with it just fine. The neighborhood is being gentrified, and we were told to keep the metal front door locked at all times. It was fine though. We look forward to visiting NOLA again soon.
