A few of my friends and I have gone to Mardis Gras for the past few years, and Anna's place was far and away our favorite to stay in. Not only is it close to a lot of fun things (Magazine Street, the Uptown parades, not too bad of a haul to the French Quarter), the space itself can't be beat. The couches are maybe the comfiest you've ever sat in, there is a pool(!), and an amazing outdoor area to chill in during the warmer days. Anna even gave us a few complimentary goodies and beads to get the weekends started. Not to mention she was quick to message me back when I had a question about the reservation. Thanks for being a lovely host!
