We were delighted to stay at D's place and enjoyed the talks with him.
He does everything to give you the best welcome possible.
You will sleep on a thick mattress, can eat cookies, fruits and bagels he left for the breakfast, can get bottled water he also left in the fridge, etc.
He gave us advice to see more than the just touristic French Quarter (e.g. going to Magazine street to admire the architecture of the beautiful huge houses there) and left us borrow his DK guide on NOLA.
If you come from the airport, you can reach D's house with bus JeT E2 (1.50$) and then 32 (3$ for 24h unlimited pass). If you arrive during the day, you shouldn't miss the English flag in front of D's house. It is in a peaceful neighborhood you can access with buses 32 (1 every 50 min) or 39 (1 every 30 min, a few blocks further) or the streetcar 12 (every 20 min but slower and further). The RTA app/site allows you to follow where the buses are in real time.
And the dogs Quinlan and Winston prove to be very loving even if you are not entirely familiar with animals. ;-)
We do recommend D's place for D is a real superhost!
