Haiyan is a very responsive and helpful host and even drove me around a provided me with a bike. Haiyan is very friendly and gave me lots of tips on what to do and see whilst in New Orleans. His parents were also very nice and friendly. The room is as described, with a comfortable bed and shared bathroom. The house is on the border of the Garden district and within walking distance of St Charles Avenue (where the streetcar takes you to and from downtown). You can also easily walk to Magazine street which has loads of nice restaurants and shops.
