Gerald is a very hospitable host. He shared suggestions regarding local restaurants and was kind enough to drive me and my spouse downtown so we could avoid parking fees. The room was clean but doesn't have a television. Gerald provides a Wi-Fi code though. Be aware that three of the rooms share a bathroom so depending on who the other guests are, it could be an issue. During our stay, we were able to use the bathroom without waiting but some of the other guests were a bit messy. Overall, Gerald is an awesome host with a very warm personality. The rooms are clean and the neighborhood was quiet. There is plenty of street parking available and it was a 20-25 minute drive downtown during Essence Fest. Thank you, Gerald, for your kindness and for welcoming us to the city of New Orleans.
