Paula's place is spotless and well stocked. The beds are super comfortable, as is the couch, and the kitchen has everything you need. Each time we come to NOLA we try out different neighborhoods, and the Carrolton area is really lovely. Oak Street has many wonderful shops--a terrific bookstore, a great cafe in an old bank, restaurants, a local pharmacy. You can walk down Carrolton and get to St. Charles, then onward to Audubon and the Tulane area.
