I had a great stay at Paula's place! It is very conveniently located in front of the tram stop, which makes it easy to go to places like the French quarters (about 20 minutes). I am a woman travelling alone, and I felt very safe at Paula's place. I did not meet her, but her instructions on how to check in and check out were clear and made things easy. The room is very big, with a private bathroom, small kitchen area and dining table. There are other rented rooms in the house, but I cannot say I heard my neighbours much (people were respectful). I would totally recommend stay at Paula's when visiting New Orleans!
