Leah Hellen has really created a cozy and artful little space.
The neighborhood may seem rough at first, but we felt very safe throughout our three-nights stay. Everybody you meet in the streets is extremely friendly and helpful and you have definitely got to check out some of Leah's suggestions - we found them accurate and very insightful.
The only concerns we had were with the a/c which is right next to the bed and quite loud. Also the path to the backdoor to the suite is not paved and a bit of a nuisance to walk down when it rains (which it did when we arrived, so our shoes got soaking wet and quite dirty).
Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place to anyone who wants to get a more genuine experience of this beautiful city (away enaugh from the French Quarter).
