Lanays place was perfect for our needs. It is beautifully decorated and clean and Lanay and her family were very unobtrusive.....we never felt like we were staying within a family home. Having your own private entrance also helps when coming in late at night. Lanays place is within walking distance to all the main sights of the french quarter....a ten minute walk and you are on Bourbon st. The neighbourhood felt perfectly safe and my husband and i never came across any trouble and we walked everywhere. There are parts of town you shouldn't wander into and a little research or asking a taxi driver will soon show you where you shouldnt go. There is a fantastic cafe on the corner called Fatimas. A must for breakfast. As others have said this property doesn't have a fridge or an iron but you are made aware of that before you arive from the listing. Lanay was super helpful when we needed a slight late checkout too. I would highly reccomend this place if you want a room that is clean comfortable and within walking distance of Frenchman, Jackson square, Bourbon st ect. Would definitely stay again if im in town.
