The location is perfect for exploring New Orleans' uptown and downtown. It was a two-minute walk to the streetcar which we used everyday. The air conditioning worked beautifully (important because we were there during a heat wave). The house had everything we needed and the layout of the rooms worked very well for three adult women. Not fancy -- but neat, sweet and complete. Take Wesley's advice and enjoy a drink at the top of the Pontchartrain Hotel. It offers a spectacular view of the City. We didn't make it there until our last night, but it was a great way to celebrate the end of our trip (while enjoying some tasty cocktails).
