Francis's place was better than expected. The pictures don't do this property any justice, From the eye-catching artwork all thru the home down to the wood floors and wood furniture. The size of the property and details put into furnishing the property exceeded all expectations. The area was very peaceful and I felt very comfortable parking on the street. For me, since I went during Mardi gras the week before Fat Tuesday, this was close enough to the action without being in it. A 5-10 min walk thru the beautiful Garden District to St Charles Street will get you to the trolley that will take you all across town, was a definite plus. Most homes in New Orleans are very close to each other but we still felt that the property maintains it's privacy very well. It was just a great stay all around.
