We got exactly what we expected in this place for Mardi Gras. First, the location is really perfect for the parades. Two blocks from St. Charles and Fresh Market is right there as well for food, booze and anything you need. The neighborhood is not fancy but felt perfectly safe. On street parking was available and free. Also, the “shotgun shack” nature of the place was no problem. Each room was generally able to have privacy with doors, etc.
The listing is modest in setting your expectations — and that is how the house plays out. Some basic maintenance items were missing, but everything worked. Think Motel 6 and not Hilton. And I give the owner credit for not advertising it as anything else.
