The place was exactly as advertised. The only “complaint “is that we could never get onto the Wi-Fi and there were no pots to cook eggs. Other than that, it was fantastic.

The hot water needs to be looked at I had the shower the first of the day and there was only hot water for a couple of minutes. The security system needs batteries. It was a lot of room for the money. The quiet time is a little questionable the road noise from interstate 10 is loud all the time.

The house is beautiful and more than enough room for our group. Easy walk to the French Quarter. Even though it is a pretty busy street and super close to the interstate - the outside noise was not an issue and did not disrupt our sleep. The back yard area is fenced and relaxing. The hosts were helpful for the quick question that we had. Great sray!

Would highly recommend... It's such a pleasant walk to the French quarters... The house was comfortable with plenty of space... We felt safe with the security system and the way the door locked... When we needed something it was easy to reach out for help. Well stocked with all the essentials. Thank you very much for hosting us.
