The decor is quite lovely. I like the little touches, just enough to make it feel like an experience. Check in is easy. The place was very clean and well stocked with blankets! (my favorite) Debbie's neighbor is sweet. She came out to make sure we went to good restaurants and places. The bus stop is just on the next street. We didn't have to walk far for it. The public transportation here is top notch, I suggest giving the app a try. I liked the stay. We had a car and parking wasn't a problem. Fun time in New Orleans!
