The desire room is HUGE and the rafters are so pretty. The wet bar was so useful. This location is very close to the French market and there are a few walkable bars or restaurants nearby too. Check out the friendly bar, they really were very friendly. We rode an uber every where and the rides were between 8 and 20 dollars and never really seemed to surge like I've seen in other large cities (I was there on st pattys). There are so many places to see in New Orleans and we felt close to everything. This is a very old town home, which most of them are. The stairs are very narrow. If you have any mobility issues do not choose the desire suite, it is on the 3rd floor. Me and my friend have both had knee surgery and had a hard time going all the way up. The 2nd floor suites weren't that far up and there is a first floor option too. One thing to consider with this is that the owner doesn't live in the home and it is a shared space. You don't always get good neighbors and that is a chance you take. Also people you do not know may have different cleanliness standards or personalities that doesn't get along with you. Overall it was a good stay but not sure I would chance staying with 12 other strangers in a place more expensive than a hostel. The personal locks on the door made me feel very safe.
