If you're considering booking at the Henry Clay loft do not hesitate. We booked as a family of four basèd on a locals recommendation and we're very glad we had. Only thing missing was more time to stay! Carol reflects the warmth and hospitality NOLA brings to the world. We had luggage issues at the airport ie our luggage wasn't going to arrive into New Orleans until the next day. So, by the time we made it to the 24hr Wal-Mart for warm clothing (we didn't anticipate the rare cold front that had occurred, including snow) it was around 3am. Carol insisted she was a night person and was more concerned about us than the late hours. Her place is very cool, warm and cozy. The wide open space males it especially enjoyable, kudos to the loft designer. Carol communicated effectively and even went out of her way to offer recommendations when we asked questions. Awesome space, host and safe location, great for families and people looking for a quiet, enjoyable neighborhood with beautiful homes close by. I'm hooked on New Orleans and already making and to return. So much to do and take in there: food, culture, music, history... I'm missing it already! Thanks Carol, much love from Canada.
