We LOVED this home - the location is amazing Its close to restaurants, coffee, shopping on Magazine and near St. Charles if you're planning to watch a parade. Theafternoons lounging on the second floor balcony were incredible. We were a big group and were very comfy, however take note of the floorplan. It's an older home and the former sitting rooms have been converted to bedrooms (i.e. some of the bedrooms connect and privacy isn't total). We had a great time regardless and highly recommend. Gail was communicative and a top notch host!
