I stayed with Virat (and Jae) for two weeks during Mardi Gras. I could not have asked for a more perfect situation. The location is perfect for the majority of the parades (1/2 block away). The area has beautiful homes and tree-lined streets. It is far enough away but still close enough to the Quarter (30 minute walk). The room and apartment were perfect to work remotely and relax when needed. Virat was so gracious, communicative, helpful, and kind.
