Don was an amazing host. It started with the fact that I overlooked that check in time is at 3pm. We were there at 11am (catching the previous renters on their way out). He let us drop off our stuff when the place was being cleaned and then gave us a ride (with a tour on the way). We were a group of 5 people; he could easily have let us drop off our stuff and been on his way. But he is too cool for that...

Now on to the apartment - The pictures and the description are accurate. The place is spacious and comfortable. With 5 people, we had more than enough space. The place can easily fit 8 and everyone will still be comfortable. The bathroom situation, however, may not be ideal (there is only one) - but we were fine. The AC was a godsend!

Things to note:
The AC doesn’t reach the back room to the right (the smaller one) very well. The room isn’t sweltering, but it is definetly warm. Compared to the temperature outside, you should be fine.
The place was clean, but not spotless. (I may just be a particular person since no one else seemed to point this out)
The listing says: "If you have trouble with stairs, please let us know before booking.” Take this seriously! The stairs are steep and short. We didn’t really have than much trouble but be cautious. That said, stairs shouldn’t be deterrent to staying here.
The apartment is in New Marigny or otherwise known as the 7th ward. It is right on the border of (regular?) Marigny. About a 15 minute walk to all the main spots in the French Quarter. Not the most beautiful neighborhood, but eh, c’est la vie! But don’t let the appearance fool you, the people fantastic and don’t hesitate to walk around. Say hi to your neighbors because they will definitely say hi to you!

Overall, I would definitely recommend the apartment.
