Carolee's place is in a great location. We thought about staying in the French Quarter or nearby, but that proved to be expensive and looked difficult logistically. Not knowing New Orleans at all (this was our first visit) we just took a chance on this neighborhood. Turns out that here you are in a great spot to access some excellent restaurants on Oak and Maple Streets, a decent food store (Roberts) and a Walgreens, an interesting vintage store, the St Charles streetcar (a long and often crowded but interesting ride to downtown) and other amenities. If you have a car, access to downtown is fast via Earhart St, and escape to the west is right there on US 90. On-street parking was ample - we were able to park right in front every day.
Inside, the place has pretty much everything you need. The bathroom was good. We appreciated having a washer/dryer. A nice touch was having a suitcase rack (I wish more hosts thought of this).
We enjoyed New Orleans in March, and highly recommend Carolee's place as a base for your explorations of the city!
