Lisa was an excellent host! I stayed in her home in Treme with my mom, and we both felt very welcomed. The room is clean and comfortable. She is extremely helpful with her suggestions, and very knowledgeable about her neighborhood.

It's about a 20 min walk to the French Quarter, and we took a cab back at night. The area where she lives has some homes that are in better shape than others, so while the neighborhood may not look the most inviting, we felt safe there walking around during the day. Just be aware that you're in a city, so it's better to take precautions at night.

We really liked getting to know Lisa too. Although you are definitely given your privacy, make sure to get to know her! Wonderful woman, and Taco and Dean are great sidekicks.
