Susanna's home was very close and convenient to the French Quarter and Bourbon street...only about a 10 minute drive. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Some friends and I went down for Essence festival and she accommodated us very well, even had bread pudding waiting for us in the fridge when we got there! Our only discomfort were ants all over the kitchen sink and countertop that she noticed beforehand and warned us when we got there, but did not attempt to take care of the problem. So we were unable to fully utilize the kitchen like we would have liked to.
