I had a terrific stay at Salvador's place: he's friendly and accessible, and the space is ideal for 1-2 people on a budget who want a nice oasis in the city. The backyard and pool are delightful and amazing bonus, and being a block away from City Park makes Sal's place perfect for those who want a quieter, more nature-driven NOLA experience.
Two things to be aware of:
First, the bed is on the street side of the basement unit, and it's a main road, so there is noise from the traffic. I found that keeping the A/C unit on was enough to drown out most of the sound.
Second, the bathroom ceiling is a bit low so with the claw tooth tub (raised a few inches off the floor), it could be a tight fit for tall people. I'm 5'9" and had just enough clearance.
