The Mansion was a good venue for four couples to enjoy a brief stay in NOLA. The bedrooms were comfortable, even though two of the bathrooms were small and outdated. The common areas were perfect for group gatherings during the day and for occasional meals. The "house rules," especially those requiring slippers at all times, were unexpected and unnecessary. There was a continuing issue with the lack of hot water in the bathrooms during the entire stay, and with the air conditioning on the second which did not adequately cool that area. We were surprised at the number of homeless people in the area and the lack of electronic security.
