This is an amazing house with truly great owners. You can tell that so much work and thought went into making this a beautiful, comfortable, and cool home. The house has all the amenities that we needed, and so many little touches that we appreciated all over the house (really cool artwork that is for sale). We were a group of 10 and the house was comfortable even for that many people- the double vanity in the master was perfect for all the ladies to get ready at the same time!
I would describe the location of the house as a little desolate and up-and-coming. There are a lot of homes in the area that look like they are being refurbished (but no construction noise). The cafe down the street was pretty cool and we became regulars during our stay. My friend and I went jogging a few early mornings and felt as safe as your going to feel in any big city. We would walk to Bourbon which took us about 15 minutes and in the evening usually opted for a cab back. We were to and from the airport in about 20 minutes.
Would highly recommend to stay here, especially if you want to be close enough to all the hot spots but also want some peace and quiet.
