Iris is super friendly and welcoming. She has a very lovely home in a neighborhood with quite some character. Very close to the French quarter. My BF and I were able to bike there within 10 minutes. We stayed in the aqua room which was spacious and very cozy and clean. Only down side is thin walls. We are early birds so we were worried we were too loud getting ready in the morning. There aren't private bathrooms with the rooms but there are two of them and we didn't really have to wait for their availability, maybe just once or twice. Over all the stay was great and i would totally recommend it for a homey stay or if you like to meet new people since there may be other guest there as well. Thanks for a great stay!
