Joanne’s place is located within a 10-minute walking distance from the French Quarter. Even though it was hot and humid outside the house miraculously kept a pleasant temperature. I stayed at the rose room which looks as nice as in the picture.

When I was there there were to other parties around so sometimes one had to wait a little while to use the bathroom. Apart from that there was no problem using any home appliances. In fact I had only just asked if I could use Joanne’s washing machine and dryer when she already showed me how to use them.

Joanne is an easygoing, friendly host. Star and Molly were very friendly, too, and I appreciated them being around.
