The house:
The location is PERFECT! The house itself is everything you need, with a minimal and modern feel inside. The outdoor space of the house (which is shared with the other people staying on the compound) is AWESOME! There are tons of different areas so your group could keep to itself, but the fun of the house is contagious and people tended to mingle and have a great time all together. The pool is key in NOLA when its super hot as well!
The team:
Michael and his whole team are incredibly hospitable and sweet, and really went above and beyond to make our NOLA trip, even outside the confines of the compound! They told us about the history of the house and the area, gave us awesome recommendations, and did the impossible: got us (a group of 10) a same-day dinner reservation at Commander's Palace! We had tried to do this many weeks in advance and it was booked, and Michael asked us if we had any restaurant we couldn't get a res at, saying maybe he could help us. And he did! Also, I had a minor crisis (stolen purse) and Michael made sure to help me resolve that, waiting for deliveries of documents that I needed sent, etc. My friends and I look forward to staying at this property again, and especially to checking out some of Michael's other properties in the future!
