We loved Nicholas's place. It's a perfect spot for a multi-generational family get together, and an excellent parade clubhouse. You can tell that a lot of thought and care (not to mention money) went into it. The beds and bathrooms are first rate. The downstairs living space is super comfortable and tastefully decorated. We have family roots in New Orleans and have visited many times, so we appreciated the charming location in the heart of Uptown. However Mardi Gras visitors should understand that this place is RIGHT on many parade routes, with all the joys and frustrations that can entail.
