We (6) came for my brothers bachelor party during the weekend of tropical storm Barry. Before the trip even started Russell was very reassuring that we would be safe and still have a great time in Nola and at his place -- this was %100 true despite all the crazy media reports! The place is really nice and spacious to where we didn't feel the need to have to be out all the time. Cool art pieces, and apparently along a parade path as one went past the house Saturday morning.
