Jake's place was great! Everything was exactly as described & he was a very helpful host. The whole place was very clean & new. Everything is situated at the back of the house, so it's very private if you want it to be, but Jake was great to chat with when he was home. He also messaged us a couple of times about cool things happening in the city when we were out & about, which was awesome. We loved the walk into the quarter, especially when strolling along Royal or Chartres street, as there were a ton of coffee/brunch spots on the way. The neighborhood the house is in may look sketchy, but it is fine to walk in during the day. We felt safer taking an Uber back at night (even when we were way across town it was never over $15). Also, I know some other reviewers have had concerns about the general loudness of the house. We never had any issues with it but Jake actually bought a noisemaker for the room that will block out any noises throughout the house at night. Overall this place is a great value & a good find!
