Catherine's home was perfect for my recent trip to New Orleans. It's a beautifully restored home with fun and interesting local decor. I stayed in the Rose Room which was spacious and comfortable. Catherine was a great host! She met me promptly when I arrived, gave me a quick and thorough lay of the land and went about her business....which I appreciated. I love the location. It was my first time staying in Mid-City, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area. Although the street cars are just three blocks away on Canal Street, I chose to walk everywhere (including to City Park) and felt safe walking both day and night. Catherine gave me some great dining tips (especially Echo's Pizza for brunch). She also has tons of tips posted in her kitchen for folks who want to venture beyond the neighborhood. It was a delightful experience... exceeding my expectations!
