The area is fairly central with the St Charles tram only a 10 minute walk away from the house or Uber is only $12 or so to the French Quarter / downtown areas. Shopping is not too far away but walk on the larger streets. The house is a good example of a classic New Orleans double Shotgun house with a covered porch in front, great for having your morning coffee and tea. The area is a little run down and we found the people to be friendly.
The features of the home are basic but serve the purpose. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans to prepare meals.
