Glynn's place was as close to perfect as we could have hoped for on our first family trip to NOLA (in the heart of hurricane season!). Every day the gigantic pool offered a cool respite from the heat and humidity, pleasing my 11-year-old daughter to no end. (She would have been content to just stay home all day swimming.) The house had great central air, with a super-comfy couch and beds, and a huge kitchen with everything you need for a long weekend away from home. Private parking with a gate was a huge plus, since we really enjoy touring cities by car so you can see greater swaths of neighborhoods. One incidental but HUGE bonus: the house is one block away from the sensational District coffeeshop, whose coffee and food are simply amazing and made us wake up each morning with an extra skip in our step (to get there before the lines to get Stumptown coffee and homemade kolaches)!
