Francoise’s Caribbean house is a little gem in the Uptown neighborhood. The bedroom had a very comfortable bed, with clean sheets, and an extra duvet. The room was large and had its own private bathroom with full tub/shower. She included a basket of goodies in the bathroom with a loofah, conditioner, perfume, etc. Her house is within walking distance to trendy shops, bars and restaurants. There is plenty of free street parking around her house, but if you don’t have a car the streetcar (trolley) is just a few blocks away and will take you directly into the French Quarter. The remainder of the house was also clean and roomy. We were able to use the kitchen and the grill on the patio. The patio has a little café table if you want to have your coffee in the morning while enjoying the beautiful, lush garden with fresh oranges from the orange tree.
As for Francoise herself, you couldn’t ask for a better hostess. She was able to make many suggestions on what places to eat and activities to do and is very familiar with the New Orleans area. She was also very quick to respond via text to any questions that we had before and during the trip. The room contained travel brochures and books about the city. And last, but not least, is the adorable Zoe her little dog. She is adorable, playful and didn’t bark at all! Highly recommended.
