If you are going to New Orleans with a big group, family or friends, this is the place for you. This is a great house that gives the visitors an authentic New Orleans experience. We were there visiting family for Christmas, so in our case most of our time was spent elsewhere, but this would be an excellent destination in itself for a party or wedding or such. For a family group there are comfortable sleeping arrangements for five couples in separate rooms, and four children in a dorm room, great accommodations for people who want to enjoy being around each other a lot while visiting New Orleans. There are separate living and dining rooms, and a huge, well-equipped kitchen. The house interior is a wonderfully eclectic chaos of colors, shapes and patterns, with no two pieces of furniture matching, but everything in its place somehow and totally charming. Our gaggle of New Orleans expatriates really enjoyed our time at the NOLA Festivals house, and will be back again if the schedule works.
