Joe's place is nice cozy place located near Bywater neighborhood. It was about 50 minute walk to the French Quarter, but I don't recommend walking late night because the road situation is not much safe. There are some near bus stops, so I highly recommend to check bus schedule and use them. By Uber or Lyft, it's about $10 from French Quarter.
To be honest, my first impression of the place was not as satisfactory. The room was darker than the picture shown, and as he mentions, it is very cozy and does not have much bedside. And it was colder than I expected.
However, one great thing about Joe is his fast responses to the problems. After staying a night, me and my friend Joe that the room is too dark and too cold, and we couldn't find hair dryer. As soon as he got our message, he came to us and taught us how to use another bulb. About the hair dryer, he said that it already has a hair dryer but somebody might took it to their room. So he actually got a new hair dryer for us on the same day. After he knew that we were feeling cold, he went to find another space heater for us, went to several stores to get it. And the same night, he got us space heater.
I really appreciated such communication while we were staying at his place. We were here only 3-4 days, and he could just skip what we suggested, but he didn't ignore us, and brought changes immediately. He is a very responsible and thoughtful host. Due to his fast responses, I changed my thought on this place and started to like it.
If you expect somewhere fancy, close and perfect, I would suggest to go find another place. However, if you want to stay somewhere decent priced, small cozy place, this place is it. You should keep in mind that the host is super responsible nice person.
