This is a great house for a large group of people. There are plenty of beds, pull-out couches and there were 3 air mattresses if people do not want to share beds. The common area is large and open as well. The outdoor area is also larger than it looks in the pictures -- although not the prettiest, it was a nice area to hangout.
The house is about a 25 minute walk to the French Quarter and there are a number of good restaurants within much closer walking distance (Dizzy's is legitimately 2 doors down and had awesome po boys and fried chicken). Can quickly walk into very nice areas, but also areas that do not feel the safest -- which is a lot of Nola, so just be careful walking home at night.
Our hot water didn't work, but the host immediately sent out a maintenance worker who fixed it within a short period of time and we had no issues the rest of the trip.
