Myself and three great friends decided to fly out to New Orleans to go to Mardi Gras for the first time. The house was tidy, very comfortable, and felt very southern and traditional. Betsy is very...involved. If you are looking for complete privacy and to be alone, this maybe is not the spot for you since you share the house she lives in. However, if you are down to socialize and meet a local, it's a great spot. Betsy even got us invite-only tickets to this famous "Mom's ball" (party) and helped quite a bit with our costumes. There are some cool bars/restaurants walking distance but if you are going back and forth from the French Quarter the way we were, we ended up getting short Uber rides.
I hope you enjoy the city of New Orleans as much as we did!
