We loved the cozy cottage feeling of the place, the privacy, and the small courtyard we shared with the hosts, which included a water feature and resident cats. There were some cleanliness issues with the floors and kitchen.

Darleen and Mike were unobtrusive but genial hosts. Because Darleen is unavailable during the day, immediate communication is not possible.

The neighborhood was charming, and looks like it is still being "gentrified". The biggest drawback was a very long walk (at least a dozen blocks) to the St. Charles streetcar--the main way to get to tourist attractions each day.
