Great location with secure parking! A bit plain but historical. The common space is really just a hallway/kitchen so don't plan on hanging out in the house because there is little space to do it. Walking distance (half mile or less) to plenty of bars and restaurants with French Quarter only slightly farther down but we still walked to it many times. The Ruby Slipper is stumbling distance for brunch, even with a hangover, and is FANTASTIC. Host responds quickly and walks you through simple check in process with keys, parking, etc.
