My flight arrival was earlier than the check-in time and my flight out was in the evening after check-out time, but Darlene and her husband were able to accommodate me, making the trip completely hassle free!!!
The place is as described in the pictures and was just perfect for my long weekend in NOLA. There was a delicious chocolate pastry for me on the counter and coffee and cream available, which was much appreciated. I was anxious about not having an actual bed, but the pull out couch was very comfortable. I also appreciated having a hair dryer there, as I forgot mine. The area is very quiet and I felt very safe there (I was staying by myself), even left the door unlocked the whole time so I didn't have to worry about losing keys! I also walked late at night without problems. The place is very convenient to popular streets with shopping and eating, a close for a stroll to the Garden District, and about a 15-20$ cab ride to the French Quarter/Riverfront. (United cab (504) 522-9771). For you Vegans and juicers out there, there is a Superfoods Bar 3 blocks away (that is awesome!), and for you music fans, there is a great venue, Tipitina's, also 3 blocks away! For anyone concerned with the outdoor cats, I'm allergic and didn't have any problems, and they don't bother you at all! I'm hoping to stay again there next year!
