Tyria's place is close to the highway and about 10 minutes from downtown New Orleans. Her house fits 8 people very comfortably and still room for additional guests who stop by. Tyria provides some snacks and drinks. Beds are comfortable and the large living room sofa fit us all comfortably. Tyria was a great host, very responsive and helpful. We had no issues while staying at Tyria's place. A great place to stay, please consider Tyria's place when in New Orleans.
