We felt incredibly comfortable at Phillipes' home, we had a shared bathroom and a really comfortable bed and powerful shower. The kitchen amenities were great and the dogs are totally adorable. We felt that the location was fab for us, a safe suburb, just a quick bus ride (15mins) into the city hitting the French quarter first, we also found we were away from the touristic route so it was relatively quiet and cheap getting into town on public transport. Overall a good base for a city that oozes character.
