Great place to stay. Close to Canal Street streetcars. Roads in the local area are pretty torn up, possibly because of Katrina, but neighborhood is quite safe to walk and there are some beautiful houses, trees, and other attractions nearby. Things at the house are slightly funky & confusing (lighting, shower, lockbox take some getting used to), but you'll figure it out. If toilet doesn't flush, just nudge the floater in the tank—it sticks. Kitchen is very nicely stocked. I didn't begin to take advantage of it, but it was fun to hang out in, even if you just get take-out. Wall between the two units of the duplex is not any kind of sound barrier; if there are people next door, you will hear them, and they probably hear you, too. Fortunately, this acts as an inducement to get out and explore. Otherwise, it would be easy to just wanna stay put in this cozy retreat.
