Melissa's house was just as charming as the pictures suggested; the long roomy space was more than enough for the two of us. You could easily keep guests on the futon and still feel like you had enough space! The location was also perfect; the main bus line was within walking distance or just about anywhere we wanted to go—between Bywater & the French Historic District—was easily less than a 10 minute drive. There was even a little late-night convenience store with fresh meals nearby, for when we got home late and hungry. Melissa was a kind hostess and neighbor during our three night stay and we can't wait to come back sometime :)
