Melissa made us feel welcome and gave us very helpful information and suggestions that added to our enjoyment of New Orleans. We enjoyed her company. THe place is accurately described--not luxurious, but comfortable. If you read description and look closely at pictures, you will know what you are getting. We enjoyed our time in the house and appreciated that we could eat well in the neighborhood and park easily and feel safe. It worked well with a car as we could drive to/near all other neighborhoods, and walk from there.
