The house is very comfortable, and wonderfully and eclectically decorated. There is plenty of space to gather, or to be secluded and have quiet time. The backyard is like a tropical oasis, and even in December we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub. The location is great - walking distance to a number of shops and restaurants on Magazine Street, and a short distance to the French Quarter. It was our first visit to New Orleans, and I can't imagine a better place for it.
