Rita's guest home was perfect for our first stay in NOLA. You can tell Rita spent a lot of time and thoughtfulness decorating the guest home. We loved how little and cozy it was, so much so that we opted to have an unplanned night in. My partner and I especially enjoyed the little patio area with the koi fish for coffee in the mornings. The little black cat was super sweet and helped with us missing our own kitties.
The surrounding area had everything we needed as far as night life, food, and sight seeing. The French market and Frenchman street are just a short walk from the house. Highly recommend The Franklin for dinner: it's only two blocks away and it was our favorite meal in NOLA. Also, the area was VERY LGBT+ friendly which was a plus for us.
We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Rita, as she was away visiting her father. Rita was extremely accessible by phone and very helpful when I had to ask for help switching the breaker (fuse blew when blow drying my hair). The unit itself was private and secluded, perfect for a couple's getaway. We will be staying again during our next NOLA trip!
