Our group of ten enjoyed our stay at the Tropical Oasis. We loved that it was close to the tram line and that there were several grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants close by. The neighborhood is in transition, so we tended to uber at night but did not have any problems.
The house was well stocked and we appreciated the small touches from the staff (soap in all bathrooms and kitchen, coffee filters, trash bags and toilet paper were all stocked.) The space worked, and you could see the attention put into it, but it was a bit tight for our group of ten. While everyone had a seat at the dining room table and everyone could sit in the family room, there was not any extra space (a couch to lay down, etc.) when all of us were there.
The bedroom with futon also had the backdoor, so when that guest was sleeping, we had to limit our treks to the backyard. Similarly, one of the queen bed rooms had the laundry in the room. Neither was a huge deal, but it made the space seem a bit less usable as we had to juggle using around sleep schedules.
The backyard and pool were great. We loved swimming and some of our group enjoyed watching a movie while in the pool. We also used the grill several times and it worked great. There is very limited shade in the backyard, esp. during the day, which got a bit tricky for us with small kids, but would be great for anyone that is a sun worshiper.
We'd definitely recommend this space for families and those wanting to explore NOLA.
