Manny's house is a little off the beaten path. About 15 minutes driving(or around 1 hour walking) to the French Quarter. But that just adds more to the appeal from a local perspective. It's nice to be in a suburb away from tourists, after spending the day in a tourist heavy area.
Manny provides helpful information and hospitality. Plus on a side note you will get to meet the coolest dog named King. Which in my opinion if you are a dog lover, completes the package. And makes this a house well worth the stay.
