Krystal's place is close to fun places such as Frenchman street, Crescent Park, and St. Roch Market. There should be a streetcar nearby but it was not running during our visit however we were able to walk to many places. The location is great and the house is a New Orleans style shotgun house - which is cool but can be a surprise to those who do not know what to expect. There are no doors other than the bathroom door, so all of the bed rooms are connected as well as the living room and the kitchen.
It is a very old house, which resulted in a few issues: There were a lot of insects in the kitchen/bathroom area, the drain in the tub was not working well, and insulation is not great - we found it to be very cold in the house during the night. The neighbors were also very loud till late at night. Given the price, location and it being a unique house it can be a good option for those looking for an affordable place to stay while in NOLA but there are a few things to watch out/be aware of as I have listed above.
