We had an amazing five days on Arts St and highly recommend it to others. Joshua and Leah's communication was perfect from the start, flexible in meeting us on arrival ($41 fixed rate in airportcab). The house is in St Roch area, 40mins walk to French Quarter and in the other direction into Bywater. The streetcar extension isn't quite finished yet but will make it easier. The house was comfortable, with air con keeping it cool. We only used the bedroom unit and it was fine for us. The kitchen was great, coffee machine etc and josh was kind to leave ,milk and coffee ready for us. The bedroom was quiet and such a comfy bed. There are some reviews about the area being "sketchy". We couldn't have found it safer or more welcoming. sure, there are some run down houses and the streets are potholed, but that's the situation across the city. It's still on its way back. Don't be put off at all. We walked everywhere, day and night, and had an awesome time - the dive bars on nearby st Claude may look edgy but they're great fun to chat (Hi-Hos for comedy). St Roche food market is a hipster heaven just ten mins walk. There is a general store for basic essentials around the corner. Bywater area has great cafe and dining experiences (Bachanal). Frenchmen St for amazing music is just 40mins walk. But also streetcar over to Oak St. Josh was great at giving recommendations and also helped us in to the venue he works at. Get bikes - it's a great way to see the city if time is short or your feet hurt from walking. We loved NOLA and can't wait to come back - hopefully to stay on Arts again.
