Karen's place is full of character with a comfy bed and gorgeous wraparound balcony. The breakfasts were out of this world, and Karen is a gregarious host with tons of recommendations - especially foody ones! - and is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. Algiers Point is a interesting, low-key place to stay for a few nights, it's a pretty neighbourhood about half an hour or so by ferry to the French Quarter (or a shortish uber ride). You need the right change for the ferry!
