Juanita's home is in the perfect location. It is in a nice neighborhood and we enjoyed walking around from there to Magazine street, the World War II museum, and to the French quarter (may have been an hour or so walk to the French quarter). The home was the perfect size to accommodate our extended family of ten, with enough beds and bathrooms for everyone to stay comfortably. There was a lot of space to sit and gather and we missed getting to go outside and make use of the back porch. The kitchen isn't necessarily stocked to cook in. We assumed most people who come to New Orleans likely go out to eat as the kitchen seemed to be collecting dust. Our family tends to cook most meals at home so we asked Juanita to bring over knives, which she was very responsive with and quick to bring by. We picked up paper plates, foil trays, and other necessities from WalMart. We ran the glasses, silverware, etc thru the dishwasher first as some were obviously dirty. Aside from the cleanliness in the kitchen and not enough plates, everything else about the house was great - and the location is wonderful, it's walking distance from lots of nice stores and restaurants.
