WOW! What an AMAZING experience. This wasn’t just a place to stay. Joanne created something here that is truly remarkable by including home made cupcakes, personalized suggestions, and genuine knowledge of her neighborhood and New Orleans. She also has a perfect dog named Charles. I would have paid just to hang out with him. She has also decorated the place with beautiful antiques, thick curtains that keep the light out, and a big comfortable bed. Everything we needed or wanted or even could have imagined was provided for us.
I guess the only thing I can say is don’t stay here if you’re an old, out of touch, wealthy snob. It has a hostel feel and my grandma was uncomfortable dropping us off in the neighborhood, but that’s only because she is the kind of character described above.
That being said, I can’t suggest this place more. I thought it was a perfect location, just a few blocks from Frenchmen where you can find free, local music, local beer, local art, and creative party buses like the one we saw where you can sit in a swing while someone pulls you on his bike.
Stay here. Unless you suck.
