The house is just as pictured it was roomy enough for large groups not to be on top of each other. There was a Kuerig and a notebook of local hangouts with some pamphlets. We had plenty of towels, pillows and dishes to use. The pots and pans were not the practical day to day use. We ended up using one small frying pan our entire stay due to lack of options.
It is a few blocks to the ferry. Once on the other side you are directly across from the casino. Bourbon street is another walk so be prepared to get some steps in. There is public transportation options.
We took the ferry at night to the other side and got a Lyft back since the ferry stops at 9:30pm. Lyft fees were between $13 and $20 depending on the time. I also rented a car for our day trips to the swamp, park and other places we wanted to see. There is street parking right outside the front door. Parking in town is actually pretty easy with pay to park options all over. Anyone with a disabled placard can park free so bring yours if you have one.
Our host were quick to respond to questions. They provide an easy check in experience as well as check out. We never met them in person but knew they were available if we needed them. All in all this is a great place to stay away from the crowds and noise of the city.
