Staying at Rita's place was great. Checkin was very easy, and the location of the guest house can't be beat; both Bywater and Marigny are very cool neighborhoods with a lot of fun stuff going on. The guesthouse itself is definitely tight quarters, so if you are a larger person or have a lot of stuff you plan to be carrying around, this might not be the best fit. As other guests mentioned, there is also noise during the night (the sound of trains, predominantly) that might keep some light sleepers awake. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here during your trip to New Orleans!
