If you are looking to stay somewhere to get the "real New Orleans feel", look no further. Talmadge's shotgun double home is beautifully decorated & she has graciously stocked it with little extras that make you feel "at home".
I am an early riser, so was up drinking coffee outside on the front porch & met a few of the neighbors and had a wonderful chat with 3 of them.
The area is safe and even coming in late, I felt at ease . (We took a taxi home from Canal & Bourbon- after midnight & the fare was only $8.30). The street is quiet, well lit & conveniently located. We found it less of a hassle to take the street car or taxi & left the vehicle in the driveway most of our stay.
I definitely recommend Talmadge's home to my family & friends. I plan on staying again in the near future.
Thank you Talmadge for opening up your home to guests! I appreciate it! Beats a hotel any day!
