The cottage is cute and close to French Quarter, St Roch Market is right down the street and one of our favorite places to eat. Tara never responded to my message when we arrived, no greeting or asking if there's anything we need. One of the double beds has a wooden bar running down the middle making it unusable. Overall the correspondence between me and the host was sparse. The little correspondence we did have I felt like I was bothering her. When she did respond it was short. The price was double than what I was quoted. I didn't find that out until shortly before the balance was due. By then everything else was booked, so we were forced to pay it unless we just cancelled our vacation altogether.
