Nalu is enthuisastic, friendly, and a great host. For my trip, the flexibility of her hosting shone through as I had but booked a day in advance with a flucuating check-in due to being in town from an ad-hoc multi-state roadtrip, rather than a dedicated and planned time in New Orleans.
Nalu handled the switches with aplomb and extended her welcome; sharing pieces of her home and recommendation for places to eat.
In terms of the stay itself: we had the entire basement/first(?) floor to ourselves. The internal spaces were clean and the overall home had a strong sense of history and character. The off-street parking was invaluable as we were very worried about the general security of New Orleans in general (thanks internet), but that and Nalu put our mind at ease.
