Amanda's place is in an excellent location, a couple of blocks from Chickie Wah Wah's and the Canal Streetcar line into the Quarter, and just a ten or fifteen minute ride. The neighborhood had a good vibe, multi-racial and folks seemed friendly as I walked around. Enjoyed that. The house and room were fine for sleeping, though I would have preferred a little more welcoming hosting from the host, such as showing me where stuff was in the kitchen, since the amenities include the guest having access to eat food the host has on hand for breakfast if they wish. I found and chose to have my breakfast at a fine place called Betsy's Pancake House about three blocks away. As a place to sleep in a good location while visiting the city, the place was fine.
