Modernized inside, very comfortable bed, strong AC, hardwood floors, roomy porch to have your morning coffee and relax as the cars and folks pass by. Solid deli 2 minutes away for basics and even a fried up meal if you don't wanna cook, otherwise there are other nice local restaurants walking 10 to 15 minutes east into Arabi or a little north of the rental.
The area is better than it may look first take. Great location between the endearing Arabi local businesses and the levee walkway. Nice local bar with a great outdoor space with live music about a 10 minute walk past Jackson Barracks. Depending how active you are, you can easily walk or go for a nice run from the apartment to the levee, over that drawbridge into the (now) more hipster Bywater and Marigny. 88 bus stop is right in front of the house in case you're not in the mood to walk back, get the GoMobile app for that.
