Dominique was an excellent host and the accommodations were beyond what I expected. The house was beautiful (though I was busy at a conference and didn't get to enjoy most of the amenities he offered) and located only a few blocks from Magazine Street - a place I was unfamiliar with, but Dominique offered some tips and I enjoyed some of the best food in my life. An uber can be had for ~$10 each way to the French Quarter, which is a steal if you are splitting with someone. He also provided two bottles of water in the room - something I greatly appreciated the morning after a night in the Quarter.
Overall, I felt very safe and enjoyed discovering a new part of the city, while having easy and relatively cheap access to the rest of the city, and access to great food/drink within 4 blocks. Will definitely consider again for my next trip, which can't come soon enough. Thank you again Dominique!
