It's difficult to come up with something that hasn't already been covered. The location, adjacent to the French Quarter on one side and Frenchmen Street on the other, couldn't be better. Both the fold-out futon in the front area and the double bed in the back are fine, AC is good, and there's a microwave and a small refrigerator in the corner. The front and rear areas are separated by two heavy pocket doors, so each half is completely private and quiet, although it's necessary to walk through the rear area to get to the bathroom.

Some earlier reviews commented that it wasn't possible to pull down the shades to darken the rooms, but new blinds have been installed and if you want to sleep in complete darkness, you can.

There's a nicely shaded backyard too, a perfect place to have coffee in the morning (There's a Keurig in the room), or to have a glass of wine or beer later on.

Ginger herself is the consummate host. Within minutes you feel as if you have a friend in New Orleans. She's thought of everything. A quick example: One day we brought back a muffuletta from Central Grocery, located a few blocks away, for dinner in the backyard. We saw Ginger as we returned and asked if there was a place nearby to get a bottle of wine. She disappeared into her house and came back with a chilled bottle of fume blanc for us. There's definitely a reason that she's a Superhost.
