The house itself was comfortable enough and the yard was great! I did not particularly like the location in the lower 9th ward. the neighborhood was one of the ones most affected by Katrina; most tourists visit it to see the lasting destruction of Katrina and some residents feel resentment as a result (or so I read...I am not sure of the truth of this statement). I had assumed I would be able to walk to restaurants in the evening, but there were not many nearby (the closest one was closed) and I did not feel safe walking by myself nor did I feel safe taking the bus by myself. However, I have since read mixed reviews about the safety of this location, so it may feel fine to visitors coming in groups.
