Most welcoming is not the only outstanding characteristic of host Max. He was a an extremely attentive host who responds in seconds to questions about the house, and who arrives almost instantaneously at the front door to fix any problem e.g. how to set the thermostat control. Mac is a fountain of knowledge about where to eat in NOLA, where to shop for the items one needs, what to see .... The house itself is tastefully done and well-furnished, and located very close to the beautiful grounds of the Museum of New Orleans, next to Bayou St John. I had a most satisfying stay
