Amazing house in the Treme neighborhood. We were looking for a group house for a 10-person vacation. We needed lots of space and we wanted to be within walking distance of the French quarter. There were several solid options on Airbnb; we decided to go with Russell's house and it was such a great choice.
When your hosting that many people, it's not just about how many beds/bedrooms/bathrooms that are included, its also about how much communal space there is. The pictures don't give you the full grasp of just how big the livingroom/kitchen is. That one room is probably about 1,000 square feet! The kitchen island is huge; we hosted an all-night poker game at that table with 10 people and everyone had plenty of space. We spent most of the time within the house interacting with each other in that room, and never felt cramped. The rest of the house is huge as well, everyone had plenty of space in their bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.
Other thoughts:
* Bathroom in the master bedroom is amazing
* Neighborhood is the type of place where everyone speaks to each other. I had moved out of the south and I missed that.
*Several good restaurants nearby; great coffee shop across the street.
*We walked to and from the French Quarter a couple of times, but it gets pretty hot in NO. When we didn't feel like walking, it was very easy to get an uber/lyft.
*Russell was a great host. The perfect mix of "gives enough space, but responsive when you need something"
I can't think of any real negatives about my stay. I would definitely book that house again if I was staying in NO.
