The area is quiet and only 15 minutes to the French Quarter and about 5 from City Park. The biggest downside for us was the Airbnb smelled of cigarette smoke the entire week, as non smokers it was a bit overwhelming. It was coming from one of the vents connected to the house I think because we sprayed air freshener all week long and it didn’t help. There is no central A/C, just a portable unit and a fan. The doors are not sealed correctly, so a lot of the cool air escaped. Other than the smoke smell and the heat, it was worth what we paid.
