Wonderful place
A friend and I stayed here for six days during Mardi Gras. The place is 1.25 hours from uptown New Orleans, but I am familiar with the area so locating it was not hard. Sandra gave specific details that enabled us to easily find it. Parking was safe and easy on a long gravel driveway. The house was large enough for me to store my bike in the entrance way at the foot of the stairs. The living area was very clean and attractive. Sandra had more amenities than any rental I have ever seen. She even had cotton balls which I needed as my supply was depleted! It was a very enjoyable and relaxing place to return to after long days at the parades. Thank you so very much for providing such a lovely rental.
