The shotgun house is perfect for a small group. I went with two of my friends and the size/price of the house was perfect for us. The neighborhood isn't horrible, but I wouldn't recommend walking back from the French Quarter at night. The location, in relation to distance from things to do and places to go, is perfect though. About 10-15 minute walk to french quarter. Jenna is very nice, knowledgeable, and available. She responded to messages in a very timely manner. She's good friends with a carriage driver who's a tour guide in the city, but unfortunately she (the carriage driver tour guide) was not in town when we were there so we did not experience that.
