Overall, my family and I had a very quality experience at Isaac's place over the New Year. The description was accurate, and we mostly got what we expected. As a host, Isaac was very responsive to all of my inquiries and needs. The location is great. We used the Canal street trolley line to get down to Bourbon street, which costs $1.25 ($3 for a day pass) per ride. A few nights we took the trolly into Bourbon street, walked down Bourbon to Frenchman street, hung out there, and then took a cab home, which costed about $13 (for a group of 6). Whether you are walking, taking public transit or taxis, the location of this place is just a skip and a jump over to the action. I wanted to avoid the cost of renting a car, and this place is very doable without one. Willie Mae's soul food and fried chicken is within walking distance! The neighborhood is fine. It's not an upscale neighborhood, but at no time did I feel scared or threatened walking around. I was very content with the area, and it's nice to have the Whole Foods within walking distance. The house is nice and comfortably accommodates a lot of people. We had eight total and it worked out great. Is the shotgun style house ideal? No, but it really wasn't that big of a deal. The bedroom on the first floor next to the kitchen will inevitably get a lot of foot traffic to the kitchen and the bathroom, which is the room my girlfriend and I stayed in, but like I said, it wasn't a big deal, and did not bother us. My one complaint is with the pots, pans, and serving bowls in the kitchen. Part of the reason we wanted to stay in a house and not in a hotel was to be able to cook at least one meal a day to save money. To cut to the chase, the pots/pans/bowls/tupperware need an upgrade in quality, sizes, and amounts. We had to go buy a big rice pot, as well as other plastic bowls to place and store food in. Also, there was no toaster, so we had to use the oven to toast bread. Bottom line: This place will be great for you if: -you are going to New Orleans with a larger group of people -you prefer a reasonable amount of privacy between sleeping quarters (the two bedrooms upstairs provide a lot of privacy, which is where my parents and girlfriend's mom stayed) -you are looking for a comfortable, spacious place to hang out and pre-game before heading out (the living room is nice) -you are looking for a place that is relatively close to Bourbon and Frenchman (public transit is easily accessible from the house) The only reason why I am giving this a 4 and not a 5 is because of the kitchen situation. To legitimately call this a "full kitchen", some upgrades are definitely...
