Rita was an excellent host during our stay for a carnival weekend. She was very hospitable and great to communicate with as we arrived late by car straight from Sc. She was also kind enough to let us use her front steps to watch a parade right on her street. The guesthouse is neat and cozy in the back of the house with a cute little fountain right outside. It's small on the inside but the space is used up so well it's impressive and comfortable. Easy walk to the French quarter and tons of nice off the beaten path places to eat in the Marigny. All in all, perfect experience. Thank you again Rita. Happy Mardis Gras :)
