The Okra Inn worked perfectly for me. It is a really short walk to the Canal Street trolley. The neighborhood is quiet, and Rouse grocery is just a couple blocks away. I loved that I was able to cook rather than be forced to eat out every day. I had the twin bedroom. It is comfy and colorful. I didn't meet Lindsay, but she communicated via email, providing instructions the day before my travel. Everything worked out well, and I liked meeting the other guests.
