This is a surprisingly quiet, residential neighborhood so it was perfect for us. Not even one firecracker over the 4th of July weekend! Very convenient location if you prefer to visit/party elsewhere and come "home" to peace & calm. Short walk/run to Audubon Park. Grocery store close by. The house is very nicely appointed with a great selection of useful books about New Orleans. It's always a pleasant surprise to find a rental with champagne flutes, too! Plenty of paper products (but bring plastic wrap and/or foil if you plan on cooking much).
