Jay was incredibly friendly and very helpful in terms of navigating the Quarter during Mardi Gras. There are some pretty stellar parades that he mentioned so be sure to ask if ever you're there during that time. The kitchen was bigger than I was expecting which was great considering there were 12 mouths to feed for the weekend. Jay kept the place fully stocked in terms of paper goods (paper towels and TP) as well as towels to cover all 12 of us. 12 girls, I should stress. The bathroom was also very spacious although the latch was a bit of an issue. I really dig the grown-up bunk beds but make sure you're not afraid of heights or creaky noises (it's an old home). The half bath is outside, but otherwise was handy to use. I loved that we were in the back part of the dissected house and that we had a nice balcony to sit on and watch the sunrise. The sense of privacy was great. Enjoy your stay!
