If you are squeamish about Black neighborhoods, this might not be the place for you but if you get the American social fabric and are interested in seeing all of New Orleans, this is a place to stay that grounds one in the City's reality. I loved it the beauty of Barrett's simple decorations, to the seeming harshness of the streets - only in this neighborhood did I see what I expected from New Orleans. When I return and I know I will, Barrett's is where I would want to stay. But next time for more time so I know what I'm looking at! Thank you Barrett.
