This is a cute little cottage, situated in a private area behind a security gate. I spent quite a bit of time there alone and felt safe, which was important to me. My only complaint is that the house was not clean. I picked up several hairballs and washed all the towels, dishes and pots and pans before I used any of them because they did not feel clean to me. The house smelled strongly of bleach and cleaning products when I arrived, the cleaning service had been there, they just didn't wash the dishes, dust or clean the floors. I brought my own sheets and changed the beds when I got there. I'm glad I did.....considering. Lots of food was left in cabinets and refrigerators by previous guests. Lots of spices and condiments in the kitchen. Although I brought my own, that is a nice touch for those who don't. The area is quiet and lovely to watch the "bayou life". The owner called me a few days after I arrived home and profusely apologized for the lack of cleanliness in the home. She was away before I arrived and had not seen the condition of the house from previous long-term guests. She was very gracious, voluntarily gave me a rebate of some of the fees. Mosts hosts would not have volunteered. She gets big bonus points from me for that!Overall, I would recommend this home to anyone who needs a cozy, quiet, safe place to stay while you're in Shreveport. It's away from city for a country feel, but close enough to be convenient to stores and restaurants.
