Jonathan is a friendly and helpful host. The space is roomy with a good-sized bathroom, which has a great shower with strong water pressure. Plenty of towels were supplied. There's also a refrigerator and a large flat-screen TV. The rental is accessed from the back of the long narrow house, so you have to walk along the side of the house to the backdoor. There is interior access to the rental from the front section of the house, but I never had any problems with lack of privacy. I get the impression that most guests to Jon's arrive by car. I happened to be on foot and was dependent on public transit for getting around. If you need to get a bus, I'd recommend walking the 1/2 mile around the Fairgrounds Racetrack (Gentilly to Fortin to Esplanade) to catch the #91 on Esplanade which goes by the French Quarter, through downtown, and gets you close to the Garden District. It crosses St Charles Ave @ Jackson where you can pick up the streetcar to go towards the west. On Ponce de Leon, which is near the bus stop on Esplanade, is a decent coffee shop (Fair Grinds) and a good food market. Of the restaurants on Esplanade, I'd highly recommend Santa Fe. Like many neighborhoods in NOLA one has to be cautious at nite. I'd avoid Broad St and stick closer to Gentilly Ave and the Fairgrounds neighborhood, esp. if you're on foot.
