The location was ideal for what we intended - to enjoy the Uptown Mardi Gras parades! It was an easy walk to St. Charles where the parades are held. The area of town currently has construction (which we knew), including the house next door. We were fine with that but others may be lighter sleepers. The space has recently been renovated and is very nice and modern with some historic touches kept in the house (fireplace face and moldings). It is a traditional New Orleans "shotgun house" layout. Allen was a great host and was quick to communicate with us, which was appreciated. This spot was just what we were looking for in this visit and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks Allen!
