Maria's 2 bedroom apartment is so spacious and well-equipped, we literally felt like we were at home. There is coffee in the cupboard and water bottles in the refrigerator and ice in the freezer. Being on Canal Street near the street car means you can get to City Park or down to the French Quarter without the hassle of driving and parking! Maria met us on the porch of her beautiful New Orleans home. She and her husband live upstairs, so, they are instantly available if you need anything (tissue, directions, whatever!). We'll NEVER go back to a NOLA hotel; we're dedicated to staying with Maria now!
