This was the first time in New Orleans for both me and my friend, and we couldn't have asked for a better host. The house was spacious, clean, and well equipped (the K-cup coffee machine was very much appreciated) - but more importantly, Catherine was a great host who gave us a lot of helpful suggestions on things to do, places to eat, and how to get around (and it was great to talk to her about her experience / perspective of the city). Location was convenient - it was easy to take the street car down to the French Quarter, and a taxi ride back at night was relatively cheap, plus there are some reaaaally good restaurants nearby. Would definitely recommend.
