Catherine was super welcoming and accommodating. I felt at home from the moment I stepped in to her house. She had loads of resources and information to share, was available to answer questions and updated us on things to experience in the area every day. The room/house looks as advertised.

The area is pretty quiet and has a lot to do, see and eat close by. It's also close to the French Quarter and a few other areas via bus. It's also super accessible to the airport via cab or bus. My only advise to any new city goers is to be careful at night. Take cabs and don't walk alone. I'm from a big city and wasn't used to receiving that feedback. But it was necessary. The city is safe during the day, but use your best judgement and keep yourself safe at night.
