Nancy's house is beautiful and very New Orleans on the inside and out. Although we never met Nancy because she was out of town, she couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, emailing us with lots of great suggestions for places to eat and for live music. We took taxis to and from the house to the French Quarter which cost around $15 for the three of us. It was a shame that Nancy wasn't there because we were uncertain about how safe the area was; it looks and feels a bit risky to be completely honest, but we had no problems. People say 'hi' as they walk past and often asked us about Oscar the friendly pig who roams around the garden. It was fun feeding him apples! Thank you Nancy for a real New Orleans experience.
