As a former resident of New Orleans I can say this place is in a great location. It's very close to the bus and streetcar lines so you can get downtown easily. There are a ton of restaurants (variety of cheap, quick, trendy, and "nicer") and bars within walking distance so you can grab breakfast or a drink quickly. There's also a shopping area close on Magazine, NOLA brewery close on Tchoupitoulas, and it's pretty close to a few venerable uptown music venues. If you want to visit New Orleans and see more than just the downtown scene, this is a good home base from which to hit multiple neighborhoods during your stay. Jonathon is super helpful with suggestions of where to go and is easy to communicate with. The house is a classic shot gun but has plenty of space for six people. I went with a party of five and we had a great time.
