For a trip to see the the authentic side of New Orleans, you can’t go wrong here. The house is around 5 minutes walk from the ferry that will drop you right at the edge of the French Quarter. It runs until late in the evening to make the most of your time. Karen was a wonderful host, making us feel very welcome in her home. She made delicious breakfasts each morning we were there and we really liked that she joined us to chat over breakfast. The balcony room is lovely- we did worry at first that the bathroom wasn’t en-suite but it’s private to the room and just outside the door.
