Mel’s place is conveniently located near Tulane, a grocery store, a drugstore, and the streetcar line. If you need lodging for Notre Dame Seminary, Xavier or Loyola, Mel’s place is close to these schools as well. As we were following our 22 year old daughter around New Orleans, we weren’t “home” much. We did not meet Mel or Lance in person, but Mel was super quick to respond to messages. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood is quintessential New Orleans - a wide variety of architecture, landscaping, and house colors. Our homes in Colorado are not nearly as interesting. We would stay at Mel’s place again.
