We stayed here over Mardi Gras and though it was quite pricey (over 10k for 5 nights including Airbnb fees, etc) we did not regret it. House is in a great neighborhood yet walking distance to all the action. Lots of space and gathering areas. We adored the smaller, neighborhood events nearby us all through the weekend, Mardi Lundi, and Mardi Gras. Courtyard is a great respite area to hang out and still feel a part of things. Would definitely come back.
Garconierre was quite cold the first night (high 50s) but Pete came by with two heavy space heaters the next day. Very responsive. Shower in Garconierre never worked, unfortunately. Lots of linens, towels, kitchen ware, etc. Not super well equipped for cooking but still doable.
Would recommend changing out all the lightbulbs and adding some dimmers ASAP. The house has a great vibe but as soon as you turn on any lights, that vibe vanishes. Outside was especially a bummer because the lights turned on automatically with no way to turn them off (that we found). Two things that matter most in hosting are music and lights, and our whole group noticed this oversight. (Bring your own portable speakers!) Whole house has harsh daylight spectrum, almost blue lights. My brother in law found some decorative string lights in a cabinet and switched out the dining room pendants and a couple lamps, which helped dramatically at least in that space. Kind of a big miss for a house of this price/caliber IMO. Other than that, it was perfect for our group.
