Just finished a wonderful family trip to New Orleans. The house was great. Accommodated 9 of us very comfortably. It’s a beautiful place, and the location couldn’t be better: It’s a short walk from Magazine Street, with easy access to the Garden District. It’s also a five-minute walk from the streetcar stop; the streetcar runs every 10 minutes, and it’s about a ten-minute ride to Canal Street/the French Quarter.

Margaret couldn’t have been a nicer host. The fridge was stocked with refreshments (including a bottle of champagne), and she provided plenty of coffee and snacks. She even went above and beyond. When I mentioned that I planned to cook a pot of red beans and rice for my family, she took time out to run home and bring a HUGE Le Creuset, and also gave us fresh heirloom tomatoes, jalapenos, and basil from her garden (delicious stuff).

I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thank you so much from all of us – this is a trip we will remember for our lifetime. A truly special experience.
