Scott's place is perfect for a Mid-City location. The neighborhood is quiet, close to transportation and good restaurants, and walkable. It is about 10 minutes from City Park - a true treasure for kids of all ages! Stopped here several times for Cafe Du Monde beignets and coffee. It's less than 15 to Tulane and Loyola and about 20 to the Zoo and Audubon Park -- where you walk among magnificent old oak trees. Scott is a wonderful host - very responsive and made great recommendations for eating out - we loved 1000 Figs! Our favorite restaurant, N7, was about a 20-minute car ride.
It is not a shotgun house, which I've stayed in before and I like. However, if you need to work remotely while in NOLA, shotguns don't always have private rooms. Scott's place has three options for private spaces where a door closes and you can conduct live meetings without bothering a flat mate. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, nice touches throughout, and the place is spotless.
