Yera's place is marvelous- it has a ton of charm and character, plus the location is great. I walked all along St. Charles St. and encountered restaurants galore - there was something for every palate and level of sophistication (from dives to 3&4 star restaurants) And Lucky's has KARAOKE! There's a coffee shop nearby and the offerings are *Inspired*- no other way to describe it.
Yera was really nice, as well. We only actually saw each other once, but she was always reachable by phone or text. Oh and there is a kitty who is so sweet and Very friendly!
All in all a great stay!
