I didn't have the opportunity to meet Lees, but she is very organized and communicates very well. Even if you don't meet her, everything you need will be there for you. The house was absolutely beautiful and it really added something of high value to my experience in New Orleans. In itself, the house is something so interesting that you can qualify it as something cool you 'did' in New Orleans. Lees is an artist, and she keeps like company around and that is so evident during your stay. There is beautiful art all over the house, every room is so interesting, including the kitchen and bathroom! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay. It it very comfortable and hospitable. Everything was very, very clean, and that is something I never take for granted. We had the pleasure of meeting her pets, Mississippi the dog and Delacroix the cat. They are so cute and sweet and make your stay that much more enjoyable. I cannot say enough good things about the house and our amazing host, Lees. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.
