When I saw a beautiful picture of a pool surrounded by banana trees, I hoped it would be a pleasant place to spend time. When we arrived, we discovered that the lovely courtyard had a loud, constant, mechanical noise that drove us out every time we tried to take advantage of the space.
The rooms were spacious and convenient, providing us a quiet place to stay (even though it is near Bourbon St) and a means to cook some meals, which was great for us. The space, however, had a bit of a shabby feel: older furniture, some kind of white powdery residue on the bathroom floor, broken slats on the shutters to the bedroom door, tricky/sticky door handle, mold on the shower curtain. There was also an unpleasantly strong floral smell to the bedding and the rooms. The extra comforter we found in the closet had its insides all bunched up into several hard balls of filling, providing no extra warmth and an unpleasant feel.
Ultimately, this was a decent home base for our week in New Orleans, but it wasn't the special oasis that we had hoped for.
