I love walking up to Audubon Park and walking right by the Audubon Zoo and seeing the Giraffes. After that you can walk by the stables and then cross Magazine Street through the beautiful park. Our favorite nearby restaurants are: Clancy's, Patios, Bistro Daisy, Avo, Guy's Poboy's, Toast, and St. Joe's Bar for a blueberry mojito! Whole Foods is just a few blocks away to grab some groceries. Bad habits Barbershop is a great place to get a nice clean cut and fresh face shave or beard trim. On a hot summer day be sure to stop by Pinkberry for frozen yogurt!

Fantastic Location, great owner, nice house
The house is very much as advertised. It’s very close to Audubon Park and a variety of great uptown NOLA restaurants, bars and shops. The layout is a typical “shotgun double” so with adjoining bedrooms so be aware of that. However, it is a lovely and comfortable house. The owner was extremely proactive and responsive.

Great place
My wife, son and I stayed here for a visit to see my daughter attending Tulane. The place worked out great for us, & I'd come back. We didn't spend a ton of time at the house, but it was quaint, clean & conveniently located near everything (Tulane, Magazine St., downtown) we wanted to do. There's a supermarket one block away, which was very convenient. David was super responsive and great to work with.

Family visit
The location was perfect for our purposes. We were close to other family members. It turned out to be quiet and close to Winn Dixie and close to Frankie and Johnny’s. Delicious food.The location is close to Audubon Park and the zoo as well as the park along the river. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance on magazine Street. There were glitches with checking in. I’m not sure if it was my phone not working or an issue with Vrbo. When I called Vrbo, they quickly gotten in touch with the property owner who got us the information we needed quickly.

Wedding planning getaway
Wonderful location and retreat space. I liked being in a low key neighborhood after a long day if exploring in the city by rental car that you definitely need due to the distance between Jackson square and the house. Being in walking distance to Whole foods is a great bonus so that we could cook breakfast in the morning then go out later in the afternoon. It was nice to experiment with living like a local. Definitely worth the stay and visit!IVHighlyrecomm

My stay in the Big Easy
Having only been to the Big Easy once before, I must admit I was a bit reticent of returning for a three week stretch of time. It's never easy to leave your home, especially if it is for a protracted period of time

Cute house, sketchy area
The property itself is nice, but it’s across from two abandoned properties and an industrial type area and - as a group of women - we did not feel safe staying there, parking our car, or walking in the area near the house especially at night. And further down is fine but not close enough to make it sound like this house is in the same walkable area. Do not recommend booking if you would feel the same way as you will not get a refund even though the neighborhood around the house was not as presented or described. Out a lot of money as we had to make other arrangements, and very disappointed in this Vrbo experience.
