The home has original bathrooms, but they are very clean and in great working condition. One bed is more firm, and one a bit softer--we preferred the soft one. There is some minor street noise, but we greatly appreciated the white noise machines near the beds, which adequately drowned out any noise. The neighborhood is terrific--an easy walk to Tulane, a block from the park, and a short walk from Magazine street. Very easy to get in and out of the house.
