My friend and I had an incredible 5 days 6 nights in New Orleans ! What an amazing place ! Jackson's place was clean and spacious. We never located (or tried very hard to locate) a grocery store so we didn't really make use of the kitchen. But everything is there that you need to cook if you choose to. The bed in the main bedroom was incredibly comfortable. I can't speak to the futon, but it is well, a futon.
The outdoor space is really cute, with plants growing and some chickens... Jackson's dog greeted us and seemed to take a liking to licking my ankles... Ha ha.
Part of the street car was under construction while we were there so we had to walk a little ways to get to the stop...
The location is great for getting to magazine street, and with the street car running in full it would have been really quick to get into the French quarter. It was about a $7 cab ride to get home at night. From Frenchman street around $11.
All in all I think Jackson's place was a great choice. We loved the architecture and having a bit more of a local feel:) Jackson gave us a really helpful map of her area which was far more helpful than the guidebook maps to get us going!
