We stayed during Carnival season for a bachelorette party. We had 13 girls and rented the "Grand Trio" group of cottages, which is the Kermit, Connick and the Fountain. ||||The place was clean and neat, but needed some attention. There were beers left in the mini fridge from whomever stayed there before (not really a problem). Some lightbulbs were out, and I'm not sure enough toilet paper was stocked in all of the bathrooms. The hot tub area was a bit messy from the night before when we checked in, but it was cleaned up before that evening. We really only needed the bare minimum for our trip, and that's what we got: bedrooms and bathrooms.||||The host was great about checking in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. He even kept us abreast of parades that were happening nearby. We had people arriving and leaving at weird hours, but the host was extremely flexible with check-in/out hours, which was much appreciated. He also approved us to bring in outside bartenders for a welcome party we threw on our first night in town. ||||The grounds and cottages themselves had lots of character and really had a level of authenticity that matched the neighborhood, which I enjoyed. I had read mixed reviews on the neighborhood Treme, but found it to be quite nice and pretty quiet. We were within easy walking to the French Quarter and being right next to Armstrong Park was great for the few of us who wanted early morning strolls. I recommend heading a few blocks north to the Treme Coffeehouse if you're an earlybird looking for a cafe au lait nearby.||||I would definitely recommend this place to the low-maintenance traveler who likes to spend their vacations exploring the city.
