We had a fabulous time in New Orleans. April's home is close to Tulane and the French Quarter (about 5 minute drive to Tulane and about 15 minutes to the French Quarter). It is in a working-class neighborhood. We met some fabulous neighbors. There is a funky smell when one comes in the front door downstairs, but you cannot smell it from upstairs. The communication from April was excellent. She replied quickly to questions. The beds are comfy. I had everything I needed as far as the kitchen. I was unable to get wifi to work quickly enough on my computer or phone. I went to Starbucks to do the work I needed. Earplugs and eye masks did the trick for noise and sun. April gets 'FIVE STARS' because of the value of her home and her communication. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
