Mary is a very hospitable hostess and her home is in a good location, close to the streetcar. We appreciated that coffee, cinnamon toast and other nibbles were available. We also enjoyed watching tv from the comfortable bed. The only part that was new for us, and apparently common in New Orleans, was the arrangement of a 'shot gun' house which obliges a person to walk through entire house, including the guest room, before reaching the bathroom. Fortunately, our hostess is a very gracious person, easy to get along with, good hearted, so this wasn't a problem. I recommend this little spot without reservation.
