Michel's lovely little oasis in Bayou St John was perfect for my stay. The pictures are very representative of the space; compact, but efficient. I joked with her that it was slightly unnerving that every time I needed something, there it was; a bag clip for an unfinished snack, some honey for my tea, etc.

It was also a quick walk over to Esplanade Ave, where I caught the bus to the Marigny or French Quarter each day, or connected to other transport to Uptown.

Michel was an excellent hostess, meeting me on Christmas Day even as my flight got in late. I unfortunately got sick over my stay in town, and Michel was so gracious she picked herbs out of her garden for me to make tea with.

True New Orleans brand of hospitality. Highly recommended.
