Carmen and Steve were great hosts. When we arrived there were nice little amenities such as snacks and Community coffee and drinks to sample which our three teen age kids very much appreciated. There was also a collection of great blues and jazz records...and a record player....very cool! Steve was always willing to help us find attractions or suggest places to eat or places that could accommodate our 16 to 50 something age span. The home was great giving the five of us plenty of space to be comfortable. The neighborhood was great with some great little places to eat within a few blocks and just close enough to the French Quarter to make it easily accessible but a little more peaceful than if we would have stayed there. We had a great time!
