This house is in a great location, less than a block off St. Charles Avenue and within walking distance of Tulane, Loyola, and Audubon Park. You can easily take the streetcar anywhere and there's a small market on the corner if you need to pick up some food or drinks. There are also a lot of restaurants on Maple that you can walk to.
There was more traffic on the street than usual since St. Charles was closed for construction for about a block and traffic was diverted to this street, but it's still a fairly quiet neighborhood. This street does contain several fraternities, but school was in session when we were here and we didn't have any problems. I'd go out early in the morning to walk the dog and it's a very safe neighborhood with college kids walking or biking at all hours of the day. With three separate bedrooms, it's a great place for a family or 2-3 couples. The kitchen was my favorite room in the house with all of the windows. It also has anything you'd need if you plan to cook while you're there, but you don't need to since restaurants are so close by.
I never met Heather, but she was quick to respond to questions I had when I arrived.
