Rita’s place is fantastic. It’s small and cozy, in a great neighbourhood- easy and safe to walk around in and to the French Quarter. She was very responsive with all communication, and even with short notice let us drop our bags off before checkin which saved us lugging them around all afternoon. When we left she let us have a late checkout which made for a relaxing last day. Rita was consistently kind and thoughtful. The neighbourhood is beautiful and has plenty of good coffee shops and restaurants nearby (Paloma Cafe, Floras, Press Street Station, St Roch Market, The Franklin to name a few). We enjoyed wandering the streets admiring the colourful houses. The guesthouse is perfectly appointed with fluffy towels, a hair dryer, cutlery, mugs, a coffee maker with coffee, a small fridge in which she left us some bottled water, and a booklet with restaurant information. While the unit is small, it’s perfect for two people. It’s very clean and tidy with beautiful wooden floors and exposed beams. The weather was cold when we visited but the downstairs AC unit has a heat setting, and the bed (which is very very comfortable) had soft warm linens. The sounds of the trees on the roof lulled me to sleep and even though I’m a light sleeper the trains didn’t bother me at all. There’s a lovely little patio with a koi pond and chairs which would be perfect for morning coffee when the weather is warmer. Overall we had a fantastic stay, and I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip.
