Ricky has an oasis in a rather poor area of the city. If you are seasoned and comfortable travelling you will not mind the area, especially for the calm and restful hideaway he has created. I really enjoyed the solitude of both the unit and the backyard space Trust me, his place is as well furnished as any on this platform. Plus, he is a very responsive and helpful host! I would stay here again in a minute when back to NOLA.
