This is a wonderfully private and cozy space, and Rita is an excellent host. As other reviews note, it is very VERY small (and I'm a petite person). But did I mention how wonderful it is? Two A/C units kept the place cool; there's a private patio (with koi pond!); great water pressure in the shower; very comfortable bed; a mini-kitchen so that I could breakfast at home. The sweet spiral staircase to the bed upstairs will not be accessible for all bodies (and I banged my head on the underside of a stair -- my fault -- by moving too fast in the tiny space), but more important to me was the quiet and the privacy of this studio. Bonus: in about 10 minutes, you can walk to the edge of the French Quarter, the Riverfront streetcar line, or even a little food co-op on St. Roch. Thanks again to Rita for her above-and-beyond hospitality!
