We absolutely adored our stay at the inn! It was very clean, comes with it's own AC unit, and our room had one of most comfortable king sized beds, I slept better than I do at home! The location is perfect for a stroll to look at the beautiful New Orleans architecture. Esplanade is my favorite street for its tree-lined beauty, quiet nights, and convenience to all the action. Other places are convenient but not nearly as charming or easy to sleep. It comes with a small kitchen with the essentials like glassware but be aware you need bring your own coffee, spices, etc. Lots of great light and we had a view of the big backyard with a banana tree and lilypad pond. There's ample seating in the backyard, it seemed like it would come in handy if you're visiting with a group. As for security, there is a locked pinpad front gate, locked front door, and of course a pinpad to get inside our room. It felt very safe. Be aware that you don't receive check-in information until the previous visitors have left for extra security, so don't expect it until the day of your stay; that was the only miscommunication we experienced leading up to our trip. As many have mentioned, Barbara was very kind to us throughout our stay. I will absolutely book with her again.
