I would absolutely recommend Joanne's place for anyone looking for a great deal walkable to everything in the French Quarter and Frenchman street. St Claude street car is half a block away and a great cheap way to see the city. The coffee and tea and cereal Joanne provides is a great way to start the day, as is saying hello to her lovely cat and gentle giant Charlie the retriever. It felt homey and welcoming and was so easy to check in and out. Historical and artistic feel make this shared living fun and very festive. I enjoyed meeting the other guests and we had a great time overall. Thanks Joanne!
