We had a great time to spend our five days in Lin's lovely place. Lin was VERY helpful in providing information about what to do and where to eat in NOLA in advance, so we were able to plan our day-to-day activities based on her suggestions. Make sure to have Lyft or Uber app installed on your phone so you can get a ride when needed. We used it so many times because my travel companion couldn't really walk far. And, you will definitely need one fro/to the airport anyhow.
Lin's place is very suitable for a family for 1-2 kids and will be great for two couples or a small group of friends. It's in a safe and quiet neighborhood and everywhere is really within a walking distance. I walked to the riverfront by myself in 20 minutes. While you stay there, do NOT miss the Armstrong park right across from the house. It's a gem that many people missed while in NOLA.
