My friends and I went to New Orleans for the first time and stayed at Catherine's place. We were delighted to find it was the PERFECT place to stay! One block from the street car and only a few minute ride into the main downtown area. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, of course we were always careful to not leave belongings in our car etc. The room was beautiful and spacious, and the other house guests were all respectful of one another. It was the first time I'd stayed in an Airbnb style hostel, and am happy to say it was an excellent experience and we'd 100% stay again!
