Fernando's place was very clean and spacious for an efficiency. It was totally walkable to the Quarter, a few blocks to the trolley, and a 20 minute walk to plenty of coffee shops. The Lafitte Greenway was only a few blocks too.
Willie Mae's is only 2 blocks down Saint Ann. They have the best friend chicken in NOLA in my opinion. Marjie's is a 20 minute walk down Broad and serves absolutely superb local seasonal fare.
There is a club one hose down and it is very load. They usually wrap it up by 10 though so sleeping isn't an issue. The neighborhood is pretty quiet otherwise. It felt pretty safe and no one bothered us while we were out and about.
Fernando was super quick to respond to any communication. He even let's guests do a load of laundry for $5. His niece gives rides to the airport for $20 cash.
There is only basic TV but plenty of other things to do in NOLA.
