In response to previous reviews I've seen people leave which made me kind of iffy about this place: there's no cat or at least I didn't see one during my stay; the hot water works and it gets steaming hot, you just have to know how to work the shower knob; I think the person who talked about him having the wooden spoons in the windows as an extra mechanism against Intruders is bourgeoise, I found this funny as I also have a wooden broom handle in my sliding glass door at home for the same reason; the location is great and the neighborhood is quiet, it about a block from the famous street car and avenue with the (I think they are considered) "mansions" from the 1800s, and it's literally down the street from the Superdome and over the bridge to the French Quarter also near by lots of little stores, eateries, and things to do; I believe the home is shotgun style and it is beautiful, expect it to be tidy but it can use a deep clean like dusting and a little upholstery shampooing; there's only one bedroom and bed, the sofa bed is flimsy and the upholstery is stained but there is a raised air mattress; not much privacy for a multiple couple stay but can be made to work.
