Lisa was helpful in recommending restaurants and sights in the area and prompt to respond to our sms messages and queries. Her place is located within walking distance from the French Quarter and has a selection of nice restaurants in the vicinity. In fact, we explored most places on foot from here (Bywater, Marigny-Farbourg) and the St. Charles Streetcar stops linking to the Garden District and Riverbend is also close by. We loved staying in Lisa's place, esp. since it is not slap-bang in the middle of the tourist area. Her home is rustic and cosy and staying here made us feel as though we were locals (exactly what we'd like to imagine ourselves being for a few days). Spending time in Lisa's New Orleans Shotgun gave us a good impression of 'local living' and we found the experience most enjoyable.
