Our host was there to greet us even though we were an hour early. She showed us everything about the place. She could not have been nicer. The place is just as advertised. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked. We used the washer and dryer which are new and they have detergent there. The central air-conditioning was great since we were there in August. There is also an air mattress there that we used. We walked to everywhere in the French Quarter. The street seems fine. But you are in New Orleans; the area might be a bit sketchy. That said, personally, we could not have stayed in a nicer place. I think she has tried to personify the city's charm and succeded.
