I've visited New Orleans many times and was looking specifically for something unusual and affordable in a good location. This house is it. When we arrived, the person in our room was ill and Adrienne asked us to consider a night in a different room. I was disappointed but respected her attempt to help everyone concerned - it's indicative of her standards as a host. The "Red Room" was fine - we moved to "The Library" (the room I booked) the next day and I was happier. Very simply, I really don't like frills and victorian wallpaper. I really do like books and spacious bathrooms. Overall, as others keep saying, the place is quirky. In all the right ways.
