For the money, this is a gem.

Not far from trendy Bywater, the house is also about 15 min from the french quarter and center city with light traffic. I stayed for 6 weeks with two friends and had no issues with the neighborhood; we even had a cleaning service which was very gracious and hospitable. Larraine is a wonderful host and was very accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend this if you want to do NOLA on a budget.
