Joan's place was as described and the location is wonderful - you're right in the heart of Freret and only a couple of blocks from cafes, nightlife, and restaurants. The lot next to the house was large and came in handy for my dog, though I will advise that it's not completely fenced so if you have a flight risk it's worth it to connect them to a long leash, which worked very well for us. Small amenities were provided and both the bed and the pullout couch were comfortable. The door to the bedroom is more of a divider than a door, though as I was staying with family, it was not too big of a deal. Overall, Joan was communicative and respectful and I would absolutely stay there again and recommend it to others.
