Manuel is a very friendly host and responded quickly to my questions. He has three dogs which are friendly too but they can get excited and jump on you - just a heads up if you’re not comfortable with that. Not a big deal for me. In general the place is a decent value though everything is showing its age and require extra attention, eg the shower handles are loose (but it’s New Orleans and nothing is new). The larger bed (full size) wasn’t comfortable - I actually bought a foam pad to soften it up a bit. The location is convenient, just a few miles from everything worth seeing. Being that I was there the weekend of Mardi Gras, I can’t really complain about the value as anything else would have been significantly more expensive.
