Melanie and Eric are very nice hospitable, informative and welcoming hosts. I hung out with them some evenings and also met her extended family. The accommodation is a good sized room with private facilities. There is a bus to town just up the street but worth checking bus schedules as New Orleans transport may not always keep to times stated. Especially during Mardi Gras time when there are detours. Accommodation is in a residential neighbourhood but there is a supermarket and a few restaurants nearby
