Fernando's place was perfect! I stayed there with my mom for a couple nights while in NO for the first time. I slept up in the cool little loft area which was quite cozy. The modern, stylish upgrades to the space were all really nicely done and enjoyable. The front porch was great to have to sit and drink coffee in the morning. It was easy to get to other areas of the city to do some exploring. I did not actually meet Fernando, but he was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and flexible with a couple requests regarding check-in and check out times. I would definitely recommend his place and I would stay here again.
