Location - perfect, if you want to experience New Orleans outside the Quarter but not away from the festivities. Lots of restaurants and music venues within easy walking distance, delicious coffee shop downstairs. The house was nice for the six of us (three couples) although one family said the double bed was a bit tight. The gallery (not a balcony) was amazing for us to all hang out, enjoy a pre-music drink and food. I loved that the host had a record player with some good New Orleans music for us to vibe to. All in all, this was a terrific spot that I would (and have) recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans.
