Staying at Carmen's was a huge part of what made my first trip to New Orleans so special.
The home was close enough to the French Quarter and other attractions (rides were less than $10 going from the home to the FQ), but far enough away to experience the city as locals do. I definitely recommend walking around the neighborhood and hitting up Elizabeth's, Bacchanal Wine, and the Joint.
The place itself was beautiful, clean, and fully equipped with all of the essentials. My friends and I had no problem making ourselves at home and felt that it was the perfect size for four.
Carmen herself was a great host. She communicated with us clearly and kept it touch both before and during our stay. She was incredibly accommodating and was even kind enough to let my friends and I keep our luggage at her place next door while we explored the city for a few more hours post check out.
Next time I visit New Orleans, I will be going out of my way to stay here!
