I have been a regular visitor to New Orleans for well over a decade -- on average I spend 4-6 weeks there each year -- so I think I can speak with some authority about lodging options. My recent 8-nighter at Little Orange was my third extended stay there since last September. Surely that speaks volumes about how I feel about my favorite home-away-from-home in New Orleans. That said, I do have one problem reviewing Little Orange: I am running out of superlatives to describe it, or words to explain how comfortable I am there. Simply put, from the moment I arrive I feel completely, fully, utterly at home (see, I'm repeating myself). Little Orange is everything all previous reviewers, myself included, have said it is, but what sets it apart, always, is Jessica. Although she lives next door, she is never, ever intrusive. In fact, Jessica is so determined to preserve the privacy of her guests -- she does, of course, check in regularly via email to make sure all's well -- it wasn't until the final evening of this third stay that I actually got to meet her! Now, having finally met the "mysterious" Jessica -- charming and intelligent and with a generous spirit -- I will surely never look elsewhere for lodging in New Orleans, except in the unhappy event that Little Orange is booked over my intended dates. Thanks, Jess, again. I'm already looking forward to my next visit this fall.
