The pictures of this house does it no justice. I was worried it would not be enough room for our party of 8. The pic of outside of the house didnt look too good. And several ppl kept telling me it was a bad neighborhood. Even the Uber drivers were like, did you know you chose a bad neighborhood. WELL.... it turned out to be so much better than i expected. The house is so roomy and so well decorated. The bed in the king room was so amazing that i came home then contacted landlord for the name so i could order one for myself. The foundation and bathrooms are older but the house itself was very nice. The landlord was very responsive and personable. The neighborhood was quiet as a church mouse. The neighbors across the street were very friendly and seemed to watch out for things. We came for Essence festive, the location is a 13min ride into french quarter or stadium and conv. ctr. We found it cheaper to uber over bridge for $12 each way. There are restaurants, groceries, pharmacies within 4min drive. I was completely impressed with this home and landlord. If i decide to go back next yr, i will def stay here again. Only thing you will need, if you cook in house, is tupperware. We cooked everyday but didnt have storage containers for the fridge. Oh, and extra blankets. We were lazy on the couch, a lot, and there were only blankets on bed no extras. Other than that, the house was GREAT! Def better than i expected.
