The Okra House is very much as described by Lindsay and she was a great host. We had a group of 6 and were looking for a house for Jazzfest and this seemed to be in a good location. When we saw that one of the amenities was pets allowed we decided to stay here for a week. Lindsay had the place ready on time for our arrival and filled us in on all the local spots and things to do. There were plenty of restaurants and things nearby and it seemed safe walking in the neighborhood. We had a vehicle and had no problems parking and the streetcars were right across the street. It was easy to get to the Jazzfest Fairgrounds and to most of the other places we went to like the French Quarter, Frenchman Street and some great live music venues around the city. Now I can see why they call this area Mid-City because it's easy to get to most anything. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would stay there again without any hesitation. Thanks Lindsay!
