Karen and Kelly were wonderful hosts! They have a lovely home and are very friendly and accommodating. Karen is an excellent chef and made breakfast for us every morning (frittata with truffle oil? Delish!). Moreover, both Karen and Kelly answered all of our questions and provided insight into the best restaurants and music venues in the area. The neighborhood is very safe and only a short walk to the ferry, which is inexpensive and drops you off close to the convention center and French Quarters. The bedroom was spacious and since it was freezing when we arrived, Karen gave us a space heater to make sure we were comfortable. I'd highly recommend staying here!
