Rita was a great host. We only met her briefly, but she was very welcoming and left us with all of the amenities we could possibly need. The guest house was lovely. It's behind the main house, that she lives in, and was very cozy, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. The location was great, within walking distance of the French quarter and Frenchmen Street, but far enough away that it was quiet and felt homey. The Marigny is a beautiful neighborhood with lots of shotgun houses, and it has some great restaurants that we enjoyed. The icing on the cake was the two adorable cats that hang out in Rita's garden. The little black cat is so sweet. I highly recommend this place!
