We (two adults) spend almost the entire Memorial day weekend here. The room was nice and clean, the carpet looks like new, the temperature of the room (and the house) was always right for us even during the night so we always slept very well. The neighborhood was quiet all the time we were there, even during the night. We arrived pretty late most of the day and we never felt unsafe walking to and from Canal street.
The location is excellent, you can get to all the main attractions pretty easy and they're close. You can get to the French Quarter and the river by street car since you're just two squares away from Canal street.
It's also close to the bayou and the city park which is beautiful with its big trees.
It's a great place to stay and the host and her roomie were always nice the few times we spoke to them. The price was fair considering it has a great location, hotels in the area were really expensive. We are happy with our stay and we recommend it.
