We (a group of four) arrived in the evening and were greeted by Ryan, the host's son, who lives next door. He was welcoming and gave us a good tour of the house, and outlined what was available in the neighborhood. There is a grocery store across the road, the new St. Roch market is a block away with lots of good food vendors, and there are good restaurants in the neighborhood. (We enjoyed both the Franklin and Fatoush.)
The house was very clean and comfortable, and very well stocked with breakfast foods and condiments. We greatly appreciated not having to do a lot of immediate shopping.
The walk to the restaurants and clubs on Frenchman street was only about 20 minutes and we felt safe walking the route at all times (the biggest hazard was the uneven sidewalks).
All in all we had an excellent holiday and this was in good part because of the accommodations - highly recommended.
