The house is a great little place with fun decor and everything you need for an extended stay. Cathy and her sister made us feel welcome and responded to questions quickly. The location is close to bars, restaurants, grocery stores, public transit, and uptown Mardi Gras parade routes. There is only street parking, but it was pretty easy to find a space on the same block as the house. We hardly used our car at all since the location is so convenient to everything. We stayed for almost 2 months, through the whole carnival season (Epiphany through Mardi Gras) plus a couple of more weeks.
