Oh, yes, anytime you come here you should find the trip worthwhile.

I can't offer a very high level of hospitality at the apartment, though. We don't have a spare room. During Mardi Gras it's kind of cool and bohemian to crash at a friend's place and just sleep on the couch, since you're not sleeping much anyways and it's a non-stop party kind of atmosphere. During a visit in a more "normal" context though you might be disappointed with that kind of hospitality. So you might want to plan on staying at a hotel or bed & breakfast when/if you come.
