let me start by saying, this place is well on it's way to being a secluded little Oasis in the middle of the seventh ward. Yes, you are reading that correctly. Ariel and his family are wonderful. My boyfriend and I felt safe, and completely comfortable with them. I left this morning feeling as if I was leaving a friends house. Aside from how amazing the family is, the room was outstanding. It was clean, quiet, and they even added a personal touch of wine and glasses since it was booked for my birthday. This is the perfect place for people like me who enjoy sitting on their private porch and listening to the hustle and bustle of the city, then go inside and it's as if you don't even have neighbors, much less i10 a few blocks down the road. Everything about this place is great. I will definitely be back. This is now my go-to spot to stay in New Orleans.
