What a wonderful place to stay! There were 14 of us there for Mardi Gras, and the location and amenities of this beautiful old 1850s house made for a perfect way to enjoy the parades and do day trips elsewhere once Mardi Gras was over. Margaret is an outstanding host, and goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are cared for very well. Though we didn't think we'd arrive in time to see it, the Tucks parade was in full swing when we got to the house. Maragaret had snacks and drinks waiting for us, which was a fantastic way to start off the week. Despite filling the house to capacity, we had absolutely no issues with everyone getting showered or using the bathrooms or the kitchen. Everything is well stocked and the coffee drinkers loved the simplicity and immediacy of the two Keurig machines. Having the spacious upstairs sitting area was great for letting those who wanted some quiet time get some space from those who were more boisterous downstairs. This is an excellent place to stay for ANY reason you are in New Orleans. Thank you, Margaret, for helping make our trip a vacation we will be reminiscing about for years to come!
