The unit was small and colorful, but exactly what we needed.

Note that, except for the bathroom, there are no interior doors in the unit. In that it's a shotgun, it would be hard to have real privacy in the unit regardless, but there are not even doors to close.

Also, there are no curtains in the bedroom, which was only an issue because the neighbors installed floodlights in the alley that shine into the room. This wasn't ideal, but it wasn't TOO bright. I'm just sensitive to light. Hoping that moving forward they either install good blackout curtains or convince the neighbors to turn off the lights at night.

Jenna sent us a great list of local hot spots to try, and a reference to a wonderful tour guide, who we used. It's a bit of a walk to the French Quarter, but not too far.
