Overall, this place was OK. I did not have the experience with the host that other reviews refer to (only saw her once for less than a minute; didn't get much insight from her). She did not seem too eager to help make our stay "special." I have had more helpful hotel concierges. Furthermore, I was charged the "Mardi Gras" price for the room even though I was only there for the last day of Mardi Gras. The room price dropped after Mardi Gras on her profile but I did not realize this was what was happening until the last day of our stay. It was advertised as a Bed & Breakfast but there was no breakfast. The door handle on the bedroom fell off and I got locked INTO my room -- had to go outside and climb over a fence to get myself back into the house via the front door. The location was fine -- if you want to get to the French Quarter, however, I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to take a cab. The trolley/bus system was OK, but it adds hours to your travel time each day. The place IS very charming, and has a nice energy to it. The bed wasn't the best I've ever slept in but it was acceptable. It really depends on the experience you are looking for, and one would probably have a different experience if visiting outside of Mardi Gras, but it definitely wasn't what I expected. I wish we would have had the host that everyone else said she was in other reviews of this place! Overall, though, we had a great time and it was better than paying 4x the price for a hotel.
