Sam's place is in a great location. Cute coffee shop across the street and plenty of great dining and cocktail options in the area. Also close to Tulane which is nice for visiting parents. The apartment is quirky and has room for improvement but clean. I would recommend that the host invest in some new furniture (some furniture/rug stained). Also, shower pressure weak and water luke warm. The biggest complaint is the noise. It is an old building and the windows do not limit outdoor sounds. When I stayed, the neighbors were outside all night talking and I lost a good part of two nights of sleep.
