For us (retirees in our mid 70's) the location was perfect - a short walk to my conference at Tulane and a short walk to the bus for my husband to go downtown. The kitchen was nicely equipped though we only really took advantage of the toaster, the microwave and the coffeemaker. The bed was very comfortable and cozily warm. If we come back to New Orleans, we would definitely see if the Blue House was available before looking for something else.
