The room was as described and Haiyan was a warm and helpful host. I liked that the room was spacious and quiet, with a simple desk, comfortable bed and decent reading light. I felt welcomed by his family, and particularly enjoyed our conversation and watching a container vegetable garden take shape during the time I was there. The location is well-served by the St. Charles street car line 3 blocks away and a terrific cultural experience in itself - a real slice of New Orleans. I'd certainly stay again on another trip. Thanks, much appreciated.

I've rated the experience five stars but think the star system is silly due to it's arbitrary, relative nature.
