We thoroughly enjoyed Tropical Balcony. The owner(s) were easy to reach and responded promptly to our needs. Sleeping arrangements were adequate as we traveled with younger children. Therefore the two single beds, the double and the queen size bed worked fine with the large couch and air mattress to supplement.

The house feels homey and was as clean as a whistle - yay! It really has all the appliances needed and the basic necessities (sugar, coffee filters, dishwasher cubes, detergent, salt, pepper, etc) are supplied for. This is a major convenience as many other rentals don't and you find yourself spending valuable vacation time shopping. During the days we took the trolley, which stops a 2 minute walk from the house to downtown and to the various districts. In the evening we enjoyed the porch/patio look out over Canal Street.

Before we arrived, the owner had e-mail a list of restaurants with price levels and personal recommendations. This was a huge help as there are more restaurants than days in a year! There was also a display of tourist flyers that helped us select a number of events from the home rather than having to "shop" for it.

We'd love to return

Thanks again for your hospitality Patrick
