The house was perfect for our big group of 16. The porch was such a nice place to enjoy the warm weather. The kitchen was great to cook a big breakfast - it has a lovely range stove. It was super difficult to get cabs, but this seemed to be the story everywhere in New Orleans. The house was a quick walk to some cute local restaurants and coffeeshops, and just beyond that lies the New Orleans Art Museum and Sculpture Garden, which is a beautiful place to walk around and paddleboat.

Everyone has written such nice reviews about Morgan, our host. She was lovely for the most part, though she seemed very stressed out about our stay. Our check-in time was supposed to be 4pm, and she asked for extra time to get the house ready, which was fine for us since our group had a tour that afternoon anyway. When we arrived at 6pm, she was still not ready. One of our group ended up having to blow up and make up two air mattresses and our host was there until midnight trying to finish cleaning. I'm not sure why she didn't hire people to help her clean. She swung by in the morning and brought us donuts and was really helpful in giving us ideas on things to do while we were in town. Overall, I felt like we were a laid back, accommodating group. We straightened everything when we left, took out all of the garbage, stripped the beds. Our host seemed like she wanted to be accommodating to us, too, but the whole weekend she just seemed a bit frantic and overwhelmed. I would recommend this house to others if the host decides to stop trying to do everything herself and hires some help.
