Alex's place is in a nice, secluded neighborhood that felt safe! It looks really cute on the outside, and the kitchen and living room are very nice!!
On the inside, the house is otherwise pretty old besides the kitchen and living room. It wasn't very clean either as my friends and I found hair on the bed sheets and on the ground, as if it wasn't cleaned from the last time someone stayed here. There were also a lot of different insects we saw (termites, spiders, etc) around the house. I'm not sure if that's just normal here but just wanted to note.
I would highly recommend renting a car if you stay here which is what we did! All of the ubers/lyfts are a 15-20 minute wait, so having a car was key. I think ubers/lyfts are not huge in NOLA either, so I would definitely rent.
Alex was otherwise very nice and good with his communication.
