If you want to live like a tourist stay in a hotel. If you want to live like a local stay here. Not in a fancy neighborhood but the neighbors are friendly. The front of the house is set up like a hotel suite with a bed and a living area with a futon in one space. The back of the house has an eat in kitchen, the other bedroom and the bathroom all the way in the back. The A/C was cold and there are also ceiling fans. At the end of a long day in NOLA it was nice to be able to pull into the driveway instead of having to worry about parking. Our host was very communicative and welcoming.
