We had a large family group stay here and we all loved it. The kids really enjoyed playing in the backyard and catching lizards. The adults really enjoyed the spacious private rooms and the 5 bathrooms. (We never ran out of hot water. Despite constant showers, laundry, and dishes.) The street is quiet. It's close enough to everything, but far enough away to avoid the craziness. The canal street car is just a quick walk away. It was perfect for our group and exactly what we wanted.
