Beverly was amazing! She was super easy to be and stay in contact with, she had tons of suggestions for where to go and what to do throughout our trip - one of the best hosts I've had!

As for her place, the pictures accurately show this place. Two giant beds, living room, kitchen and a backyard with a patio. We didn't spend much time there as we were more concerned with seeing as much of the city as possible.

There was a lot of construction in the area when we were there so it generally felt less friendly than I'm assuming it would otherwise. We mostly took cabs or ubers everywhere since we wanted to see as much as possible, so we didn't really explore this neighborhood. I'm not sure we would have wanted to walk a whole lot at night, but that's true with most cities, and the construction equipment at night certainly didn't help.

That said, it was very quiet here. Once in the building it felt very safe and it was quiet the entire time we were there. Part of the reason I chose this place was it's location to the french quarter without being in a loud part of the city and that's exactly what it is! Easy access to everything without actually being in any festivities.
