My friends and I had a wonderful time in New Orleans for New Year thanks to Carmen's warm home and hospitality. The house had a lot of personality, including cool New Orleans art on the wall and jazz records. Carmen was attentive to our needs, while at the same time giving us enough space to have freedom and privacy. The house is very close to a lot of fun restaurants and venues that we only found out about the last day. Make sure to check out the Joint for bbq place and Bacchanal for music. We felt safe walking around during the day and took ubers during the evening. We will definitely return to explore New Orleans again
