We recently traveled here for Mardi Gras. My friend was getting married so 5 of us guys came down for a good time. We had plenty of space and room to sleep. Even common areas didn’t feel crowded during the time we spent down time at the house. There is a few local stores and places to eat in the area, even late at night. I believe the trolley was closed during our visit due to the festivities, however it was an easy walk to the bus station and it went right down to French quarter. Taxi was cheap enough on the way back. Michael was a great host. He was more than helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here
