We went to New Orleans to celebrate my 30th Birthday and were so happy with Marcelin's house. It easily fit all 7 of us and is a beautiful, older home with lots of character and charm. Everything was very clean and amenities were all as described. We didn't have a chance to use backyard and grill but spent plenty of time on the gorgeous front porch. Marcelin was very nice and helpful and made a great recommendation for a Cajun restaurant. Only thing I would say is if you are looking to stay in or near French Quarter, consider other options. We didn't use any public transit because much of it seemed to be under construction. We did rent a car and it is about a 10 minute drive to Bourbon street. Cabs and Uber are also an option. Otherwise highly recommended!
