We booked this trip very last minute and we were concerned with some negative reviews, but only slightly as we know picky travelers can be ridiculous at times. We are SOO glad we ignored them. Elvira's place feels authentic to New Orleans living. If you are looking for a swanky stay with high end amenities and finishes, this is not the place for you. If you are like us, and see the beauty of an old space with all it's quirks, and appreciate great hospitality, then you need to book this one! Thanks Elvira for a great stay & the wine! P.S. As the previous reviews mention, the water pressure is low (not a 0.5 - that guy falls in the ridiculous picky traveler category, but probably around a 4-5). So minor in our overall stay. You're in New Orleans!....get out, have a drink or two and you won't have any cares!
