James is a great host - very quick responses and very friendly and easy to deal with. The apartment is very basic, but perfect for a short stay. It was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. The location is good if you want to be in the Marigny. It's on a quiet street but within blocks of Frenchmen, and just a hop skip and a jump to the French Quarter. I'd happily recommend this place to anyone who wants a residential neighborhood for their stay.
NB to future guests - the Marigny is a quiet residential neighborhood. It is relatively safe, but use good sense when traveling around the neighborhood, especially at night. Keep your wits about you and use a taxi if you're overly intoxicated. Please be respectful of the residents of this charming neighborhood and attempt to be quiet when coming home late at night. This is not the French Quarter - it's an actual neighborhood with residents who are feeling the strain of increased tourism in their area; please be respectful of the locals and the special nature of New Orleans by not acting like a jerk.
