This was my first trip to New Orleans, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during Mardi Gras.
I stayed at Betsy's house with two other friends who I was catching up with after a long time. It was a fun, lively, and memorable trip, and Betsy's home definitely had a lot to do with it. She greeted my friends and I when we arrived, invited us to spend time with her on her porch with her friends, and also gave us plenty of privacy when we wanted to unwind or rest.
Since this trip was almost a week long, we cooked a few times during our stay. The kitchen was clean and up-to-date and Betsy allowed us to use her fridge, pots and pans. There were three girls total sharing the bedroom (my friends and I) and it was more than enough space. We also had a private bathroom two ourselves which was clean, up to date, and spacious.
Oh, and Betsy also has an incredibly sweet cat named Max who hangs around the house and likes to snuggle.
This was an excellent stay overall that made for a fun and relaxing vacation.
