Keith's place was great. I stayed there for one night on the tail-end of a business trip in New Orleans, and I could not have asked for a better place to stay. In case anyone is wondering, the house is entirely brand new and Keith built it himself, so everything inside was up-to-date.
Check in was very easy as I simply contacted Keith the day before my check-in date to get the key code for the door, and he responded promptly with no issues. He also kindly greeted me at the door when I came in!
The bedroom had a comfy bed, fresh linens/towels, and plenty of storage space for my clothing/luggage during my stay. There was also a huge closet in the room with ample space to hang additional clothing if needed. The bathroom was a Jack-and-Jill style that connects with the other guest bedroom on the first floor that has a brand new vanity and very nice shower. There was even an option to allow you to lock the door into the bathroom from the bedroom side if need be in case a guest from the other bedroom was using the bathroom.
The upstairs of the house contains the kitchen area and Keith's private quarters, although Keith was quick to inform me that I was free to use the refrigerator, microwave, etc. if needed. There is also a really nice patio area off the kitchen where you can sit outside and enjoy a cool view of the neighborhood as well.
The neighborhood where the house is located looks a little rough at first glance, although every one of the neighbors that I spoke to in my time spent there was very friendly so do not let appearances get the best of you. The house itself is also a stone's throw from the streetcar and bus line that runs on Canal Street. If public transportation is not for you, you can also walk from the house down Canal Street to the downtown area in 30-45 minutes.
Keith was also a great host and super knowledgeable of the area. He gave me plenty of good recommendations for things to do in my free time, provided transportation, and invited to show me a night out on the town with him and several of his friends which provided an awesome local perspective of the city for someone from out of town.
For a very affordable place to stay in a neat part of New Orleans with a host who is extremely hospitable and laid back, I highly recommend this Airbnb!
Thanks Keith!
