If you are considering a "shotgun" style place this is the one you should pick. The standard practice must have been to have thin walls, as I have read numerous accounts of how parties next door ruined it for others. Nice thing about this place is, yes it is a shotgun style so we get the the Nola experience but having the host next door ensures a quiet stay. RiK has everything you need if you are an out of towner. We stayed during a +90 degree heat wave and the air condition was amazing. This is a nice option for the price and location.
