Upon arriving, Jo gave me and my friend a very warm welcome! She immediately showed us to our lovely room, and gave us a tour of her home. If you love art, you're in for a treat: the entire house is decked out in art that she purchased from local artist. Jo's house is about a 5 minute walk from quite a few jazz bars, which was a huge bonus for me! I felt like I really got to enjoy the real New Orleans, in addition to the touisty attractions. Overall, I highly recommend staying with Jo!
