Elvira's place was great! It gave us a classic New Orleans feeling, from the decor inside the house and from the neighborhood itself. It's walking distance to both Frenchmen and Bourbon Streets but far enough away that it's quiet, there's easy street parking, and a nice coffee shop right across the intersection. Elvira was very responsive and friendly. Oh yeah, and we found the bed to be super comfy!
Heat wasn't a problem since the AC units worked really well, but as some of the other reviews mention, the shower pressure was definitely low. It wasn't a problem because we could still shower comfortably, but it's worth noting since it others seemed to have found that a problem. If you travel a lot and are used to staying in various conditions of places, then you won't have an issue at all.
