I chose Elvira's place for two specific reasons, the location and the two beds. Once we arrived I was a bit confused because there was one bedroom and a small couch in the sitting room however I was pleasantly surprised to find the pull-out couch in the kitchen. This was actually very convenient since sitting room was available even if either of us was sleeping. Unlike many pull-out couchs this one was very comfortable and didn't bother my back at all.
The location us unbeatable, just three blocks from Frenchmen's street. This meant a reasonable walk to all the great restaurants and bars in the Bywater and the Marigny. I will bookmark this one for trips to New Orleans with others in the future. Thanks Elvira!
