The house is very spacious and filled with interesting furniture, decor, and artwork. We never used the formal living room, but the large round table in the room adjacent to the kitchen is great for playing cards. We had fun watching for Oscar the pig each morning and fed him apples. He is pretty old, and seems to have arthritis so we were respectful of his yard area. We also did not prepare meals in the house, so I can't speak to how well the kitchen is stocked. All the bedrooms are on the second floor so keep that in mind if steps are difficult for anyone in your group. Parking is on the street and we were always able to find a space. The front porch is a great place to read and watch people pass by. There are a couple of bakery/coffee shops less than a mile away which we walked to in the morning. Between the spaciousness of the home and the close location to the French Quarter, I feel this is a good value and a very pleasant stay.
