The cottage was great and very home-Y. Well decorated and close to the French quarters which was the best perk! Being able to walk there. The listing however failed to describe the area it is located in. My boyfriend and I parked around the block and when we got out there was a sign on the building that said " if you get caught you will get shot to death." It is definitely in the ghetto but safer neighborhoods are close by. I'm pretty well traveled and I was a little afraid being out alone at dark there. The dogs barked A LOT but I guess they are hound dogs. Do something to be aware of. Other than that everything was perfect!
