The house is just as described. It is easy to locate and in a good neighborhood only a short walk to the canal street streetcar line or the bus line into downtown. We didn't use the kitchen much, but I could easily have prepared meals. It was nice that the bedrooms were separate and the neighborhood is quiet at night. We were thankful for the air conditioning and for the walking distance grocers. We walked to City Park the first day and enjoyed its offerings. The notebook listing places to eat and the local sites was helpful. All in all a great few days.
