I honestly couldn't believe my luck when I came across Royal St. The location was great - a short walk to Frenchmen (or head the other way to Mimi's for a drink/bar food) and felt completely safe walking down Royal St. The keypads made for easy access which made it easy for my friends and I to come and go independent of each other. I stayed in the living room on the sofa bed while my friends had the bedroom. Mostly private with the exception of walking through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, plus there were places in the house itself to sit. I thought the sofa bed was comfortable, and there were air conditioners in both rooms. Breakfast was a decent spread. I was grateful when they let me store my luggage between check out and leaving for the airport. Ultimately, my friends and I had a great stay made special by the architecture that transported us back in time.
