Lorraine met us as we were pulling into the drive; wonderful host and great person. She showed us around the guest wing and has the frig stocked with drinks and snacks for us. The wing was very clean and conferrable. We really liked the porch and being able to walk to the river and just relax there. Lorraine gave us great tips on local venues and an awesome band that was playing. She had local papers ready for us when we arrived and even had CDs of local artist to get us in the spirit of NOLA. We enjoyed the local art she had in the wing and enjoyed thumbing through the books that were there which were specific to the NOLA area. It was a about 10 min from the quarter and she was great to give us tips as to where to park etc...
We had a friend that lived outside the city that wanted to stay rather than drive home one night and Lorraine was very accommodating ( we did set this up in advance ). We highly recommend Lorraine and the guest wing to our friends and would stay again. The pictures do not give justice to the space in the wing; very roomy. The neighborhood is typical NOLA and there is street construction everywhere, but we had no issues with the location. There is a full size washer and dryer for personal use and a fold out table should you decide to dine in. The bathroom was large and she had all the extras incase you forget something. All in all, much better that a 5 star hotel any day !!!!
