Pros:
-The house was very nicely decorated, clean, and well stocked. We had plenty of pillows and towels during our stay.
-It was great to have access to a washing machine and dryer. We went home with clean clothes so it was easy to unpack after our trip.
-1/2 mile walking distance to the French Quarter.
-The neighborhood was fairly safe. If you went a few blocks north, it got a little sketchy but those areas were easy to avoid. Seems typical for any urban neighborhood.
-Many restaurants, bars, and grocery shops within a short walking distance- we really enjoyed The Franklin, Silk Road and Flora’s Coffee.
-Easy to find street parking. We left our car parked right in front during our stay.
Cons:
-There are 2 bars literally right outside the back bedroom door and I don’t think they ever closed at night. The noise and light was hard to deal with while sleeping, so keep that in mind if you’re a light sleeper or early riser.
-There isn’t any outside seating. That would have been a nice thing to have on the front porch or even in the back patio.
-A throw blanket or two would have been a welcome addition in the living area.
Overall, I’d rate this location 8.5/10. We really liked the location for walking distance and the neighborhood seemed fairly safe. If we were more into the bar scene, this would have been a 10/10. The bar noise was the only major drawback!
