We have been thrilled with our choice to have selected this property. We have been closing on a house and ended up having the need to stay here for over a month! Pat has been more than a great host allowing us to stay longer when our closing got extended and been very flexible. We had never been to Lafayette either and it was a great time! I'm an extremely experienced traveler and the ethnic food culture in this area was unbelievable. If you are looking for a place to experience Lafayette look no further.
