This is a great location. We walked multiple times a day to the French quarter which is about 15-20 mins away. Grocery was just opposite the house, and parking right on the street outside. We never had a problem parking irrespective of the time of day. Safe neighborhood. We walked home at around 10:30 p.m. with teens and felt quite safe. No noise disturbance through the night.
John is a wonderful host who let us check in much earlier, which was so greatly appreciated. He communicated really well before our arrival sending us all necessary details on time. While we were there John checked in through messages to ensure we were safe since the 2 tornados hit on our last day there. We were lucky, and John's house kept us safe, and we had electricity through out.
The house it's self is lovely, with really high ceilings, very different from where we come. Everything we needed was there, including but not limited to lots of pillows, toilet paper, towels, coffee, sugar/splenda, umbrellas, body wash, shampoo, conditioner etc. This is a great space for a family yet close enough to all the fun of NOLA.
