Kathleen was wonderful. Her home is a remodeled "traditional' New Orleans home and very comfortable. She pretty much gave us the run of the living space and the kitchen. She helped us find our way around and advised us as to the local sights and happenings. Her place is very convenient (short walk) to an array of shops and restaurants (and price ranges) while still being in a quiet neighborhood. We decided to forego a car since I was working most every day of our visit and so the location within easy walking distance of both the St. Charles St. trolley line and the Magazine St. city buses was very convenient. Both could get you to within easy walking distance to the Convention Center and to the French Quarter.
We were looking for quiet and comfortable and this suited us perfectly - not being in the thick of the party scene in the French Quarter was a definite plus for us.
