My three friends and I were visiting from Palo Alto and New Haven, so this is a review on behalf of everyone in the group.

First, our hosts were very congenial and made us feel at home from minute one. We're thankful that they were able to meet us and hand us the keys on such short notice, even though our flight landed early.

The suite deserves nothing but praises. It was lovely and clean, and the bathrooms and kitchen were both well-equipped. There was also no shortage of towels. AC was included. The bathtub was pleasant.

The one thing I would point out is that the neighborhood is comparable to Yale's. After parking our car one rainy night, we were surprised by a homeless lady as soon as we opened the door - she began aggressively begging for money and took off her shirt to show that she wasn't carrying a weapon. We were pretty freaked out by the incident and didn't know how to react, so we promptly drove away. We circled the block 10 times to ensure she was gone, only then did we park and return home.

Besides the homeless lady incident, everything was great. If you want a real New Orleans experience, this is the place to go.
