I was in Nola for a medical convention, traveling alone. This home was beautiful, safe, convenient --a great respite from a long day at the convention and spending till midnight to check out the sitesIused the 3 day jazzy pass to board the 10 or 11 unlimited times to the convention center and french quarter . She lives right next to Magazine st & 9 blocks from the beautiful st Charles Ave which the oldest streetcar runs through for a nice view of the antebellum mansions . Unfortunately this streetcar line was under construction and could not really be relied on to get from point A to B in the time I expect. However the city did provide a bus to service the interrupted parts, just factor in some lost time which was actually an opportunity to explore the architecture and amazing romantic homes with gas lamps on foot. Also uber would bail me out at those times ...$5 to french quarter. You have enough dining options on Magazine and St Charles alone not to mention a liquor store immediately to left of Le Bon temps roule that will grill u a fat hamburger until 2 Am for $5 in case u forgot to eat and the stores are closed. Francoise fits the bill of my preferred hosts -- welcoming but not intrusive. The best part is Zooey her maltipoo of love --this dog is the great bienvenue after a long day - she welcomes you like you're long lost family reunited but is never yippy or annoying. The house has a great ambience and privacy. I regret I could not stay longer. My final tip to future guests is bring a small umbrella for unexpected showers and if u have an early flight home, book /secure transportation to airport a day ahead since was hard to get a cab/uber at 4-5 am to a residential neighborhood.
