We stayed at Gran's place for about two months and absolutely loved it. We used the bikes a ton to go to City Park, restaurants, and even to the French Quarter (bought our own bike locks, never had a problem).
The neighborhood folk are very down to earth and friendly. Porch swing and hammock out back were amazing, as is the space inside. Lots of space.
Gran installed a new hot water heater while we were there for those concerned about that. It works great.
Gran was very accommodating and had great local tips, great guy. Will definitely look this place up next time I'm in NOLA.
Also, we both worked from home during our stay here. Never had a problem with wifi, even for video calls with many people.
If you're looking for a great NOLA experience without the noise and crazy of the French Quarter, this is a beautiful tree-covered, bike-friendly area with lots of great food options nearby, and is a nice area to just walk around. Highly recommend.
