Myself and a friend stayed with Maria and Roberto three days and two nights. It was a nice room with the basic essentials. The place was very close to the French quarter, so we had no issue traveling quickly to where we wanted to go. The neighborhood is definitely "up and coming". We at first we're on edge, but after meeting Roberto, who was very friendly we were put at ease. New Orleans was freezing this weekend, so the only issue we had was that the room seemed to not have any heat...thankfully I brought a heated blanket or else I don't think we would have been able to stay there (it was that frigid). Overall though, it was a nice place and I was satisfied. Thank you Maria and Roberto!
