Great old house - with all the creaks and curiosities of an old New Orleans home. Renovated without being robbed of its character. Hosts were out of sight but easily reached; we had a splendid relaxing time. Location was incredibly convenient for French Quarter Fest - we rode bikes straight across the CBD each day with no problems; cabs and ride services were cheap from here as well. We didn't mind the constant hum of the freeway so close by, but I suppose some folks would. Place was very clean and ready for us. Bedding was fantastic; there were towels and sunscreen available for the outside as well. Deck, pool & hot tub were nice for hanging out - plenty of chairs, etc. Love the outdoor shower! Thanks Dave & Shinda for a great time, we'll be back soon!
