In the past three and a half years I have used Airbnb probably more than 80 times in both the US and abroad. James is at the highest level as a host because he was so attentive and helpful before and during this trip (my first) to NOLA. The information and recommendations he provided were awesome: he made it possible to experience the city as a local, guiding me toward music and food venues that were creative and interesting. The part of the house I was in was spacious, clean, and comfortable. For my preferences and interests, the neighborhood was very pleasant and staying in the Bywater was exactly what I wanted. Thank you, James.
