I'd recommend this place for people used to an urban neighborhood that like the proximity to local hangouts such as in the Bywater area and places on St. Cloud. Sketchy neighborhoods nearby but we felt safe at all times and took short uber rides to everywhere we wanted to go. The hosts are great and having them next door is nice if there are problems (we didn't have any though). Its a unique classic double shotgun house so if you expect a modern amenities, you best look elsewhere. But if you like living like a local and really immersing yourself in the beautiful people of New Orleans (as opposed to the craziness in the tourist areas such as the French Quarter), then try this place out. Ultimately, we just needed a place to sleep and appreciated the coffee shop a couple blocks away. And a little porch sitting was nice too. What else does one really need? :-)
