The house is in a good location, 15min walk to Jazz Fest, if that is your reason for going to NOLA. The room is a good size, but has no external lock if that is an issue, however, it can be locked from the inside. I was aware that a dog lived in the house prior to booking, but was not aware until after making the booking and prior to checking (unless I missed something) that the dog lives in the kitchen and that you need to walk through the kitchen to go to the bathroom. The dog (a labrador or cross) smells and sheds a lot of hair. Justin does clean the hair up, but the hair will be present if you are walking through the kitchen prior to him cleaning up. If that is not an issue for you, then you will have no problem. If you're not in to dog hair and the smell of a dog, then this might not be the best choice.
