This house is super cute and very clean! They have TV’s in all the rooms and a new AC! We were in Baton Rouge to move our son into his first apartment and had room in the long driveway for a U-Haul trailer and 2 cars. I rated “Location and Neighborhood” 3 stars because the location is fantastic. We were close to his apartment, Walmart, Sprouts, and great restaurants! (We ate at one of the restaurants suggested in the owners email and it was delicious.) However, the neighborhood is very industrial with 2 trains that run at approximately 3:00am each night. Overall, we had a nice stay!
It was beautiful, loved how close everything was and enjoyed the back yard with a cup of coffee.

Near Railroad Tracks
The property itself is nicely renovated and clean. However, it is extremely close to the railroad tracks (trains come through all hours of the night) it is also close to the road and the fire station. If you are a sound sleeper this could be the place for you. If you prefer a quiet night, this is not the place for you.
The neighborhood this house is technically a part of is pretty run down. However, the house is on a main street, there are cameras on the property, and I did not feel unsafe at all. If you are not familiar with where you are going, you might be concerned at first sight. For us, it was convenient to LSU and we were there for a conference, so out of the house all day. It served our purpose well. The towels were a little disappointing. Just a few more dollars on some better quality linens would go a long way. Overall, it was good!
