Charla is such a great host. My boyfriend and I were visiting NOLA for the first time (and first time in the South!) from SF. She was extremely welcoming, extremely sweet. She had great recs, her rec even led to my bf's favorite meal of our week long stay and he can be a critic! Her dogs are super cute too.
I would recommend calling an uber at night from the neighborhood, but that's not a big deal.
We did walk during the day from the location to French Quarter, etc and found it totally fine. She's about 10 min walk from the St Charles streetcar which is super convenient and easy to use (with exact change).
I definitely recommend Charla to anyone staying in NOLA!
