Although Talmadge is a very gracious host, we weren't happy with this place. The house is old, but everything is functional and it's roomy. The main issue was the neighborhood, which is pretty run down. There's nothing around and walking isn't very pleasant, although probably safe enough during the day. It's only a ten minute walk to St Charles Street and the streetcar, so it's pretty easy to get to the French quarter or other places by public transportation. If you are okay with taking Ubers, I guess this place would be okay, but it's kind of inconvenient to come back and rest before going out at night. Another issue was that it got pretty cool for a couple of days, and there's no central heat. There's a large air-conditioning unit in the living room that does heat too, but that only makes it to the first bedroom. Second bedroom had a small space heater. We were fine for sleeping, and the living room was pretty comfortable, but the kitchen and other rooms were chilly.
