This was a great find! I'm lucky I found this place instead of staying at one of the downtown hotels. The house sits in an older neighborhood with lots of NOLA character. It's walking distance to some great restaurants and I could even walk down to the French Quarter and Frenchmen St (although I took a cab for safety at night).
The suite itself feels more like a room at a 5-star resort than an guest room or regular hotel room. Beautiful hardwood floors, back porch shaded by a banana tree, huge stunning bathroom with both a tub and shower. The risk for me as a tourist was that I would just want to hang out at house instead of going out experiencing the city...
The only issue I had with Powell's guest suite was a certain lack of privacy. The suite is connected to the rest of the house by one, thin door that is anything but soundproof. In fact it is old and skewed so that you can see light through the crack and hear anything being said in the other room. For me staying alone this wasn't much of an issue, but for example a couple might want a little more privacy...
