Mary was out of town, but her son Ryan greeted us at the house. It looked exactly like it did in the pictures. They left some breakfast, snacks and goodies for us in the fridge and on the counter. Shower was nice and hot always. Loved the courtyard, wish we could've enjoyed it a little more, but it was raining some when we were in town. We found some playing cards in one of the drawers so we had a couple nights ending with some card games which was nice because of the amount of walking we had done all day! There was usually plenty of on street parking available for us. We spent New Years Eve in New Orleans and the few days leading up to it, the house was close to pretty much everything we wanted to do. So close we ended up walking a lot during the day (wouldn't probably walk too much at night just from suggestions from locals and other travelers). Ryan suggested a great market type place a couple blocks away that had a bunch of different food vendors to choose from, we had some pretty amazing catfish po-boys. Would highly recommend checking that place out if you stay here! The only thing I would suggest would maybe get some more private curtains for the larger bedroom, it felt a little too on display at times for just my personal comfort level. Thanks for everything!
