Ricky’s place was great I was there for a month, I felt safe and very comfortable! He has tons of essential supplies and extra things to make a long stay away from home not so bad. The area on the outside is a bit rough but I honestly say that about the entire city so it definitely didn’t bother me. Even when there were some plumbing issues it was acknowledged and attended to very promptly and didn’t cause me much of an inconvenience. Definitely would stay again when visiting. His restaurant recommendations were also legit, I tried a few spots and I was not disappointed. Checkin/out was a breeze ! The shared back patio area was also very nice my work schedule was crazy so I never got to enjoy it but seems like a super cool spot to relax around early fall because LORD New Orleans is hot lol ! Last but not least parking was great which was one of my biggest concerns I never had a problem. I’m not one to care about a car being stolen or broken into that’s what insurance is for. I got off work at 2am so I just wanted to feel safe and I did, of course I stayed aware of my surroundings but the only thing I would notice is this black cat I would have a stare down with other than that and mosquitoes I was not bothered ! I do feel bad I’m pretty sure most of the beautiful plants he had were on the brink of death if not dead lmao! I’m so sorry I honestly was debating if I should go buy new ones for him, me and plants do not click lol.
