For starters, the location simply couldn't be better. Just a few minutes to I-10, and no more than about 15 minutes anything in any direction, including city park and the French Quarter.
The house is nearly exactly as promised. The couch is different, I think, but that minor detail affects only the overall interior look, and not the functionality in any way.
The owner is a wonderful host, very responsive, and was quick to resolve even the most minor inconveniences.
About the only important detail going in is perhaps a lack of privacy between rooms. The layout of the house is such that there are no doors separating the bedrooms from the rest of the house. It didn't affect my stay at all, as there are curtains wrapping around each bed, offering at least a semi-private sleeping experience.
Overall, it's a very good value. I was very pleased with our stay. The next time we visit New Orleans, it's likely we'll choose the same house.
