The apartment is a classic "shotgun-style" house; narrow and long, with access from front bedroom to sitting room, to bathroom, to dining/kitchen area, to back bedroom. If you're using the back bedroom, no need to worry about waking those sleeping in the front; there are accesses at the rear of the apartment, just don't forget to take your key!
Big, old oak trees are on all sides of the street on the block, and an elementary school and church are on the corners nearby. A coffee shop is about a quarter mile North (read: toward the levee) on a quiet side street, with a couple of dining/social establishments about a half mile away...not too far to walk, really!
