Stephen's shotgun sure is a special place and in a great location. But like Laurie already commented, it is quite run down and dark. I was always happy when I was able to leave again, since inside you don't have any feeling of the wheater outside. The place smells a little old too, so if you are sensitive here, bring some candles or incent sticks. Also the sheets and towels were pretty used. My blue towels had so many bleach stains, that it was almost white. The place is a diamond in the rought for sure and with a few fixer uppers it could be turned into a palce. But the current state it is in it is really not more than a base to explore the beautiful French Quarter and the surroundings.
