We loved our walk to the Liberty's Kitchen for breakfast and felt like we were adding to the economy of a real New Orleans neighborhood (not a tourist trap). During the day it is easy to walk to the Canal St. streetcar for access to the tourist areas and at night it's an easy $8-15 ride home from the French Quarter. Stasia is so sweet and even though she's next door you have your space as much as you need (we loved chatting with her when we did cross paths while enjoying her pups and backyard). This trip was a first to NOLA for my husband and I'm so glad I didn't book us in a hotel. Stasia is an exceptional host!!!!
