It is difficult to explain exactly how wonderful this place is. I am from New Orleans. Before moving away several years ago, I lived in the city—Uptown and Mid-City—for more than 25 years. It is my home. My wife and I rented this place for a month to visit family, and it immediately felt like we had returned to the same old city we begrudgingly left those years ago. Meggan was an excellent host, and the location was near perfection. Take it from a local who lived in just 4 blocks away from this place for almost ten years: This is the single best neighborhood in the city, and this house is located on one of the best streets (potholes and everything) in the city. It is a block away from Blue Oak BBQ (legendary!) and the best neighborhood bar on the earth (Parkview Tavern). The neighbors—both next door and throughout the neighborhood—are welcoming, warm, and gracious. It's a "front-porch" part of town, and you will feel the profound love this magical city has to give at this place. Here, you will feel what it's like to live in New Orleans—the real New Orleans, the locals' New Orleans. I can't recommend this place enough. It is comfortable, nicely decorated, well-equipped, and homey.
