It's an old, grand, and spacious shotgun-style New Orleans house. Rooms offer not much privacy because they double as hallways. It's fine if you are a family or close friends. The neighborhood is very Bohemian and lively. We worried about our new car but parking was right outside the front door, very public, and well-lit. We had no issues during our 2-day stay. All the interactions with the hosts went off without a hitch.
