The area was safe and the neighbors were very nice and never loud. About a 15-20 minute drive to French Quarter or anywhere we wanted to tour. The house was large and accommodated enough people. The yard was nice and we even grilled out a few nights. Lisa was very gracious and quick to answer plus checked in on us. We did need more dishes as the set accommodated 3 people but nothing a trip for some plastic ware and foam plates didn't fix. A lot of area was damaged from hurricane so you will see that in these areas but it is safe and I did not worry about my kids watching fireworks in backyard as it was gated. Thank you Lisa for everything.
