I didn't get to meet Hilary but had great communication with her from the get go. The little green house is a block away from my favorite breakfast spot, Surrey's and we walked everyday to the streetcar 3 blocks away to get to the French Quarter. Perfect location. The school playground across the street wasn't an issue since we were there over the weekend. The house was as described and perfect for my husband and I. I wouldn't recommend it for two couples wanting privacy from each other since the door from the bedroom to living room has a big glass panel and the bathroom is only in the bedroom. Would love to stay here again!
