We stayed at Carmen's place for a week and had a great time. Carmen was a great host and quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. The place is well equipped - she left us plenty of towels, breakfast things and snacks, washer and dryer etc. which was much appreciated. Her place is in a decent location and we walked to most places easily.

We were there over Mardi Gras which meant the price was much higher than normal. I think it was very expensive for what we got - as Carmen says her place is not luxury. Some things were a little tired e.g. hot water and shower pressure is slow, futon is not very comfortable, beds are soft. However given it was Mardi Gras we expect all prices to be inflated, which is unavoidable. Overall we had a good time.
