I can't say enough about this wonderful space, location, and host. A classic New Orleans house in a quiet Uptown neighborhood, a few paces from a beautiful stretch of Audubon Park for walkers and runners, around the corner from the host's residence, should the need to meet arise, and within walking distance of restaurants and shops on Magazine Street--and not too far from the streetcar on St. Charles Ave. to other parts of the city.

You may be tempted to spend your whole trip in this lovely space, though: well decorated, beautiful light, quiet patio, dining room, and spacious kitchen / living room for hanging out. We cooked and entertained for a small wedding reception on the patio and passed an unforgettable weekend here.

The kitchen is well-appointed, the portable speaker brought us New Orleans tunes on the patio and kitchen, and it is in a quiet spot for those who prefer sleeping in after an evening's revels. Comfortable beds, plenty of space to unpack and settle in.

Harriet was a great host, and I definitely hope to reserve again on our next trip to NOLA.
