The Bayou Saint John area is one of the best to stay in for anyone visiting MidCity, including City park. It is also fairly convenient by streetcar to downtown NOLA, the French quarter, the warehouse district, and other areas accessible by streetcar. Parking is really easy, with parking readily available close by the house.
the place was quite clean and had all the advertised amenities. All the cleaning supplies were there for us.
On the negative side, the heating is done from ceiling vents! This means that most of the heating is trapped near the ceiling. When it is cold out, setting the heat means that the floor will be near 60 degrees while the ceiling will be at 80. This is also a converted older house, and it wasn't the best construction. There's only so much the owner can do to fix it up, and they have made an effort. All in all, the relatively low cost makes this a good deal in a good neighborhood.
