The location in this safe neighborhood was ideal for us to be able to walk 5 minutes to the grocery store, 15 minutes to many good restaurants and 10 minutes to the St Charles streetcar. (We did not rent a car) An Uber ride pick up was quick and cost about $12 to the French Quarter. The owner appeared only when we arrived but they did leave a list of restaurant recommendations that were nearby. It is exactly as described-a converted garage with a cement floor, nice bath and crawl space overhead where the mattress lays on the floor. Very friendly resident chicken. Being from Vermont, I'm used to open windows and lots of light coming in, so an enclosed area with only air conditioning to circulate some air was not comfortable for me. We got the check out time wrong by an hour and they were very accommodating.
