When we got into the area we were a little concerned we were in a bad part of town but as soon as we walked into Joanne's home we knew we had hit the "jackpot" of places to stay! Our room was huge and clean and super cute with local art and a very classy New Orleans vibe. Joanne promptly showed us around the rest of the home and was very friendly and helpful! Because it is walking distance to the French quarter we headed out pretty quickly for the action while leaving my 2 year old beagle pup to play with Charles (the very large, very adorable and sweet golden retriever) and she is usually very nervous around big dogs, especially makes but she seemed like she had a blast when we returned! We took a bike taxi home after one too many hurricanes and slept like babies, all in all a perfect place to stay near the French quarter and would highly recommend it! Also wanna note that my car full of all my worldly processions (I was moving cross country) sat on the street out front all night and was never messed with and was safe and sound.
