So this was my first airbnb stay and it worked out well. The description of the place and the neighborhood is very accurate. I think the photos make the place look a little "lighter" and "airier" than in real life, but it is a cute, nice little home. I do wish there was some more information on the bus system as we couldn't find anything about the #5 bus. Never even saw it running. We did take the bus on St. Claude, though, which wasn't bad. The walk to the French Quarter is all of 30 minutes, if not 35. So, if you are used to walking, it is manageable, but if you're there for a while, I would recommend using the bikes. (Lots of people in the neighborhood are on bikes, and it is a flat area, so it would be a nice, easy ride, I would think. We didn't rent the bikes . . .) The biggest drawback was the train that went by (or stopped, so it seemed) in the middle of the night. It blew its horn for what seemed like at least 30 minutes and was pretty impossible to sleep through. We went to The Joint and really enjoyed the BBQ. Overall a nice stay and a very interesting neighborhood with lots of cats!
