Allison is a most gracious hostess. She has a way of making you feel comfortable and at-home without being the least bit overbearing. The bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. I slept like a log. Also, location plays an important role. The value of being an easy 4-block walk to a Canal Street streetcar stop cannot be overemphasized. This location is just a few-minute street car ride to key points like Bourbon Street and the river front.
