It was comfortable and cute, and the neighbor hood and shops were our favorites. We loved sitting in the courtyard and relaxing. Roch market was our favorite, and the salty pearl was our favorite dining experience! We got oysters and the seafood gumbo and both were phenomenal. The bloody Mary from the bar next to the oyster place was the best I've ever had. We also loved viewing the art at the spiritual center across the street. Beautiful, amazing, and inspirational! ##### Aimee C.

Place was indeed on the cute side. However the entire place needs a TON OF TLC. Holes in wall, holes in window, giant sized bugs I think I found 7 of these creatures. Placed was full of dust. Owner states that there’s a cleaning service well all I can say is that they need ladders and glasses as witnessed by my pics. Shower head needs to be replaced, wall cabinets look like they are going to fall off the wall. Air conditioner in the bedroom needs to be replaced, also the sitting pool was very murky there was no way I was going to get in there. The faucets in bathroom sink need replacing, I could continue but believe me if we return to New Orleans it would NOT BE HERE. ![Broken window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70e28b50-8824-49b4-b15b-a1291b32bc67-1749916577172.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dust caked on kitchen drapes](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f65950d9-92fb-4b35-942f-ede9f964f8bb-1749916576101.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hole in wall where bugs got in](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9f5856ad-8f45-47bf-881b-fe98d3932d52-1749916579216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dust on walls](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba15037e-4416-47f6-b4ee-259213b1e531-1749916569768.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Guy D.
