I cannot recommend this location enough. My fiance and I had never been to New Orleans before, and wanted to find a place to stay that was close to everything, but that wouldn't have us spending all of our trip funds in lodging.
Staying at Rita's guest house was the absolute perfect decision. We walked, essentially, everywhere (INCLUDING walking to the Superdome!) and felt nothing but safe. We found plenty of food, entertainment and culture nearby, but we also were able to venture out and around easily.
In addition to the physical location being great, the actual house was incredible. We were able to get in very easily and the space was absolutely gorgeous. We instantly fell in love and have been talking about it nonstop. We absolutely loved the windows upstairs overlooking the courtyard and the sound of the tree on the roof at night. We also loved the cats that hung out in the courtyard - both were very friendly, but kept out of your way.
On top of that, Rita provided COUNTLESS amenities for us. If there was an item that we forgot or didn't think that we would need, Rita had it there ready for us. Umbrellas, flashlights, a hair dryer, drinks in the fridge! The bed was exceptionally comfortable too, and we decided that we needed to order the same type of sheets based on our stay.
