The pictures don't do the house justice. I really like old houses, and this one reminded me somewhat of my grandfather's place with the old school creaking wood floors. Five of us spread out in the three bedrooms. There are doors connecting each bedroom with transom windows above, but noise between the rooms wasn't really an issue. There was plenty of space for us to spread out a bit and not feel on top of each other. The dining room was also great for when we ate in.
Driving in from the airport we passed a few neighborhoods which raised a few eyebrows, but that wasn't really the case with where the house is. It's an older neighborhood, but one which seems to be flourishing. Reminded me quite a bit of Southtown in San Antonio, or parts of Austin.
Had a rental car parked on the street the week-ish we were there without any problems. We didn't try the trolley, but it was about a 5-10 minute ride to the French Quarter. We took Uber a couple of times and Uber XL for the five of us was about $10-12 to Bourbon Street.
We got recommendations for The Joint and a couple of local dive bars, but didn't get the chance to try them. I'd highly recommend Satsuma Cafe for breakfast/lunch. It's about five minutes out on Dauphine.
Robert (row-bare) market is nearby, but we opted for a Rouse's supermarket about 15 minutes away to get miscellaneous drinks, food, etc. for our stay.
Everyone got a big kick out of the guard pig. There's a school nearby and one afternoon a couple of kids were walking home. One of them was surprised to see Oscar. She said she remembered going with her mom to pick up her brother and always seeing the pig.
Nancy and Eric were great hosts.
