Karen's place was great. It was in a great neighborhood, very quiet yet close enough to the ferry that you can be in the French quarter in less than 30 minutes. There's also a great taco place right down the street. Karen made check in a breeze and was even able to accommodate an early check in for us. She is very kind and has great information to share about the surrounding area. Make sure you don't miss her breakfast in the morning either, delicious with generous portions.
