The place was excellent, a nice, clean, well maintained shotgun home in Mid-city. Ben had nice touches on the inside. I wanted a true New Orleans experience and I got it. Mid-City is great and walkable to good local restaurants (Parkway, Mandina's and Liuzza's etc). The house is on the Lafitte Greenway and about 4 or 5 short blocks to the Canal Street trolley if you took a short cut thru a fence and over the canal, which we did every day. The only down side was the house was across from a construction storage yard and adjacent to a large construction project, which you had to walk between to get to the Greenway. Towards downtown Lafitte Ave was very commercial and not a pretty walk. We stayed with the Greenway and Canal Street. The neighborhood was old and not well lighted at night but people cared about their homes and kept them well maintained. We had no problems at all. Most of the time we were the only ones out walking the streets. However, day & night runners, walkers and bikers were on the Greenway.
I would stay there again but I would not want my wife staying there without me.
