NOLA is awesome! Such a warm, lovely lady with a beautiful home that was just perfect for our group of 8 staying for a large conference. She made us feel very at home, especially in the strangely cold weather that New Orleans was experiencing in mid-November. I would definitely stay here again!
Also, if you don't have a car, worry not. Cabs are totally easy to get with a call. And, the Mid-City neighborhood has some awesome restaurants, as well.
