We had the most wonderful Mardi Gras stay! The beautifully decorated house was incredibly spacious for our family of 6, with lots of good seating for eating and spending time together. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and "extras". The front porch is as wonderful as described in the listing; we even got to watch the dead beans parade from there. The neighborhood is fantastic with two grocery stores and two restaurants literally across the street (while we didn't get to Cafe Degas, anyone staying there should!) and City Park five minutes away. As a born and raised New Orleanian who has moved away, this was a gem of a location to quickly get into (and take a break from) the Mardi Gras haze with family. Shelley the manager was wonderful and attentive, and even texted to give me a heads up about the parade passing by our front door. Would definitely stay here again!
