This house is located just 1.5 blocks off of Broad St., in Bayou St. John, a very quiet, pleasant residential neighborhood. The Bayou itself is only six, short blocks away and it's part of a nice greenbelt that runs up towards City Park.
The location is moderately convenient (it really depends on where/what you plan to do in the city). You can walk down to the French Quarter in about 30 minutes, for example, and you're not too far from major streets like Broad, Orleans and Canal where you can plug into the local public transit network (though buses here run more infrequently than what you might expect in bigger cities so beware). Cabs and ride-share services both seem able to get to the location within minutes. Personally, I liked staying here because it was a new part of the city I hadn't seen before but it doesn't have a ton of places to eat nearby, nor a market, and as such, next time I come to NOLA, I might pick somewhere that's closer to such amenities. It's not, by any means, an inconvenient location, especially when you take into account the relative value of the rental.
The house itself is a shotgun-style, with four interconnected rooms: living, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, kitchen. The shotgun arrangement might be more awkward for, say, two couples, since folks from BR1 would have to walk through BR2 to get to the kitchen and bathroom but I could see a family of 3-4 being completely fine with that arrangement.
The amenities are good: you have a coffee machine, washer/dryer, fans in every room + central air, bikes and helmets, hair dryer, iron, etc. We didn't do any cooking so I can't speak to how fully equipped the rest of the kitchen is but it has all the appliances you'd expect in a kitchen.
The overall neighborhood is really quiet. I mean really really quiet, which is great. The only caveat is that this unit is part of a duplex and the walls are a bit thin. You won't hear conversations or anything but when someone is walking in the next unit, the building carries sound in such a way where it sounds like they're walking upstairs from you. For example, our neighbors got up early to leave in the morning and we could hear things like the zipping of luggage and their heavy-sounding foot falls as they walked around the unit. If you're a light sleeper, this is worth considering.
