I can't recommend this place. Laid back hosts who gave the impression that they didn't want to be bothered. The listing seriously misrepresented itself. Downtown Mardi Gras action was very far away; public transportation was infrequent and you were very lucky indeed to find cabs in either direction. (You were obviously expected to cover distances with the hosts' bikes. And factor in to the price of the rental an additional couple of hundred dollars for taxis, if you could find them.) The place was neat and clean enough but minimally stocked with dishes and utensils, although there were enough towels and bedding. When it got cold at night rooms were heated with area heaters that were barely adequate and didn't always function. There were only a couple of shabby local convenience stores; forget about supermarkets and drug stores (or any other kind of store, for that matter). If such places existed we weren't informed about them. The streets seemed safe but were overrun with stray cats. There were a couple of OK local restaurants but they were closed on Mardi Gras and the previous day and you had to walk a mile at least for breakfasts. My roommate and I felt stranded.
