The stay with Mandy and Krystal was wonderful! We had a few mishaps, such as a random leak, but Mandy was extremely responsive and accommodating; the maintenance worker was there within 2 minutes of calling and the issue fully resolved within twenty!
The condo itself was nice, quaint, clean, and comfortable. I think for six adults staying there, as it does actually sleep six, would be a bit tight; there were three of us. It's in a great location off of Canal and so easy for walking over to the French Quarter. I would definitely stay with Mandy & Krystal again as they were amazing hosts, and over all we had a great time staying there.
If you are looking for things to do, here's some we tried and enjoyed:
Louisiana Tour Company - Did a bus tour of city/Katrina hit area. THEY WERE AWESOME! Great way to start the trip, to learn some awesome history and a lay of the land. This is how we determined what/where to go for the remainder of our trip. They're also on Groupon, so you get discounted tickets!
NOLA Ghost Riders - Great BYOB night time bus ghost tour. Stop in a cemetery. Learn a about NOLA haunting history. Had a really fun time. They are also on Groupon for discount tickets.
Gravier Street Social - BURLESQUE SHOW, YOU MUST GO! These ladies were phenomenal. Great drinks, a little humor, beautiful ladies, and just overall amazing atmosphere.
Mahogany Jazz Hall - Not far from Gravier. Stopped to try the absinthe. Their burlesque show was fun, but eh compared to Gravier. But on Friday night, I believe Spring is the musician....phenomenal. Stayed there for awhile just listening to him play.
Bandstand & Fat Catz were our fave on Bourbon street.
I forget the name but there's also an excellent taco/nacho bar on Bouron (on a corner).
Mahony's had great shrimp and grits, red beans and rice and a shrimp pasta.
