The home is gorgeous and comfortable and looks just like the listing photographs. Gifts of food and drink were awaiting us - always a fun way to start your vacation! The fabulous owner and his assistants were there to greet us even though everything was chaotic from Mardi Gras. They were also available at all hours to answer questions. All of the units in the house were rented, yet we always felt like we were in our own private paradise. We hired the chef that he recommended and she brought groceries and delicious pre-cooked meals at check-in and we were set for a stress-free week. The main Mardi Gras parade routes run just 1 block away and the Zulu parade went right past the house - we really enjoyed watching it from the balcony! 5 stars all the way!
