Our flight arrived around noon and Rita was very sweet to let us in before the original 4pm check in time.
It is exactly as described; a two floor guesthouse that despite the small size, it is very cozy and efficient.
The neighborhood is trending and hip, surrounded by local restaurants and coffee shops. Only a block away, you'll find "Mardi Gras Zone", a small grocery store with a wide organic selection and a great story behind it.
There is a country club with a pool, hot tub, restaurant and bar within minutes of walking as well.
Frenchmen street is only 10 minutes walking distance, and it is where the best music & art lives. Keep walking another 5 minutes and you will hit the French Quarter & French Market.
To have coffee by the Koi Pond and be greeted every morning by Rita's cats, was delightful. Rita made sure we were ok and had all we needed. Her place is more than expected and I would love to come back anytime :)
