We arrived late night and Joanne was extremely considerate by texting us with info on how to get into our room the day of our arrival. The house is beautiful, and the room was decorated with a great deal of thought, brimming with character. She offered access to her pristine kitchen and quaint back yard as well (but we didn't end up using them). The bathroom is basic but suited our needs perfectly. In addition, the location was excellent - just a few blocks from a stretch of great bars on Frenchmen. Definitely not the typical Bourbon St. crowd.
