The Vivien House-
This was my first experience using Airbnb and I will have to say that I will definitely be using it again. Staying at the Vivien house for our holiday trip was a great experience and it was so awesome to come back to a comfortable house after touring the city! When I made the reservation, I got immediate confirmation and the hosts Chita and Erin were very quick about answering all of my questions, which I greatly appreciated. We got to meet Chita at check-in and he was able to give us information about the city, area and local transportation if we needed it and we had his cell phone number if we ever needed anything. The only thing we ever called for was a later check-out time which he was able to grant us with no issues. He was a very great host and we greatly appreciated his hospitality and we all agreed that if we came back to New Orleans and the house was available, we would all stay here again!

The House-
The house looks just like the pictures in the listing and it is actually very spacious. Towels and tiny toiletries were provided for us if we needed them and there are two bathrooms for guests to use. We spent a lot of time gathering in the backyard for coffee in the morning and drinks at night. For six people, the house had plenty of room and even though the house was a shotgun style home, everyone was able to have their privacy because there was a door on the living room. Guests will have to go through bedroom 2 to get to the kitchen and dining room, but this really wasn't an issue for us. Only negative feedback I got from the guests staying on the couch bed in the living room was having to deal with any noise on the street, which there wasn't a whole lot to deal with during our stay.

The Location-
The house is in a good location which was so great and saved us on gas and bus/cab fees. The neighborhood we were in and the street we stayed on felt safe. We pretty much walked to the center of the city as a group everyday during the day and at night and it only took us 10-15 minutes to get to the French Market, French Quarter, Royal Street, and Bourbon Street. We also enjoyed Frenchmen Street which was about 2-3 blocks away. Tons of food and local music and a night market a little past Dat Dog restaurant. All in all a great experience and a fun trip. Thanks again Erin and Chita!!
