Jake and Jen are terrific hosts and, while I'm quite familiar with much of New Orleans, made suggestions and provided tips that made mine a better stay. The living space is not large but certainly sufficient for one, or for two people who like each other a lot. The kitchenette was supplied with coffee and some welcoming fruit, cookies and granola bars, and several beers / wine in the mini-fridge (which has a true freezer section, so you can save some of your Haagen Dazs for later).
The location is a very attractive area near the Mississippi River at Carrollton Av and Oak St with the Carrollton / St Charles street car lines and lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Check out the Maple Street Patisserie for morning coffee and pastry. And while the site is maybe a 20 minute drive to Frenchman St and the Quarter, it is a mere two block walk to the (world famous?) Maple Leaf Bar where you can catch great NOLA music on any given night.
If you want to work a little between meals exercise into your routine, it's an 8 minute drive to the Gert Town Natatorium where you can lap swim for free. The neighborhood is also very walker and runner friendly with Audubon Park and zoo nearby and the opportunity to run along the street car median to St Charles Avenue. The Mississippi River is several blocks away; try running along the levee top for a birds eye view of the river on one side and Audubon Park on the other.
Altogether, a fun trip to an amazing town with terrific hosts in a great location. I will do this again.
