Sam is a terrific host - very quick to respond - and his place is fantastic! It's huge and very clean with super comfy beds (three kings!) and pillows and really nice puffy towels. The kitchen has all the dishware etc. needed for meal making. Although we stayed during move-in week for students and the grade/high schoolers were also all in session, we found it to be very quiet. It's in a great neighborhood with lots of great spots for coffee, ice cream a budget or more gourmet meal, and yoga. It's walkable to Loyola and Tulane and the street car. We plan to return!
