My husband and I absolutely loved our three days at Catherine and David's. We arrived early in the morning on a Greyhound bus, and although check-in wasn't supposed to be until 3 pm, Catherine was able to welcome us (with a hug) as early as we needed. You can tell Catherine is an experienced host as everything in the house is very well organized for the guests' convenience: a variety of delicious food for breakfast, tons of recommendations in terms of restaurants, bars and music, brochures and books about the city, towels, shampoo, soap, and I'm probably forgetting things. Upon arrival, Catherine reviewed the house rules with us (which were just as stated in the ad) and took the time to get to know us in order to give us some customized recommendations about what to see, where to go and how, etc. The whole house is beautifully decorated and clean, and the room is spacious and the bed comfortable. We felt like we were staying at a nice hotel while still being able to enjoy the closeness with the host. Catherine was easily reachable through the app, and as she lives in the neighboring house, it was really easy to see her when we arrived, when we needed an umbrella (she lent us two) or needed anything in general, or we wanted to say goodbye on our last morning. We would see her every morning in the kitchen as well, so if you enjoy the Air BnB experience in order to meet the locals, you still get that with this house, while still experiencing privacy. We were also lucky to meet another couple at the house, with whom we had great conversation and will keep in touch. The streetcar on Canal St. runs two blocks from the house, so it's a really quick walk. It usually takes about 20 minutes on the streetcar to get to the French Quarter. If you go in the other direction, you get to the City Park (a nice and peaceful stroll) and the museum of art (which we recommend as well). If you'd like to do some grocery shopping, you can walk to a Rouseys or a Whole Food nearby (about 15-20 minutes). We wholeheartedly recommend this listing.
