Firstly, if you're considering renting this house during Mardi Gras, realize that Frenchman is a party street, and is incredibly loud the entire week preceeding Mardi Gras.
That being said, the house is one of a kind, the "Art House of Frenchmans" if you will, fantastic artwork, and a very eclectic and original feel PERFECT for Fat Tuesday. Having cold beer, water, bathrooms and a place to relax when you need a midday chill are ALL the reasons you want to rent this house.
The bedrooms were well apportioned and comfortable, though one was open to the rest of the house and more of a loft style (still cool). Having a roof deck to look out at all the craziness was great, as was the back porch. The kitchen is huge, and perfect for cooking and serving a meal for our group of 7.
Note that the uniqueness of this house, and it's non-linear design do require some caution (definitely not kid friendly, and probably not for those who are accident prone when inebriated!)
This is still quite possibly one of the best house rentals in the city, and we really had a good time, creating some great stories this Mardi Gras.
Karen was great, and even with me pestering her for details ahead of us coming in,was more than accesible. She also was receptive oulf our follow ups once we got in and had questions about the house.
