The space is beautiful, and was in the perfect location for our needs. We were a group of 3 couples attending our college reunion. We had plenty of room to spread out, to cook together, and to reconnect. The home is also exactly as pictured, and is the downstairs portion of a home. The only negative for us was that you can hear everything the upstairs guests are doing. Their conversations were as clear as if they were in the room with us, and they had children who let out bloodcurdling screams. LOL if that's a concern, try to stay in the upstairs space, or bring headphones. However, do NOT miss out on a stay here. It's a fantastic, and beautiful home. You'd be crazy not to choose this place for your New Orleans visit.
