This shot gun home served as a great home base. It is within walking distance to a small grocery store, Walgreens and, for us, most importantly public transportation. The neighbor felt fairly safe but the house is located on a very busy street and it could be a little loud at times. If you are with multiple people and are looking for privacy, this is not the house for you. If you are looking for a place to possibly make a few small meals, have easy access to the trolley's and buses to get to the French Quarter and Uptown this is a really good fit. The backyard area was nice to get away from the traffic noise and relax. The host was very quick responding to questions and if we had any issues. They decorated for Mardi Gras and it was very festive and fun. Could have used more seating in the living room area but we made due. All in all, I would recommend both the host and the home. We had a good experience.
