Because of availability, this was a single night stay, and our first using airbnb. It was unfortunate that our scheduling didn't allow us to take advantage of the few blocks distance well-populated jazz club scene happening on Frenchmen Street. Otherwise cabs will probably need to be called if you need to travel with luggage. We received a reduced rate due to only a single night being available before the holidays. Room was atmospheric with tall ceilings (and, yes, red) and dominated by a very high bed. The second room wasn't rented -- but note it is directly adjoining via a french door, and the single bathroom is shared by all along with Robert. This is very much a house share arrangement. Next door is a large drugstore with a noisy night delivery, and the room is basically on the sidewalk so conversations carry into the room. This is a transitional neighborhood still recovering.
