The place was beautiful- better than the pics show. Felt very secure/safe. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom well equipped and nice. The area is great for walking around- tons of good restaurants, shops. For groceries, probably a mile and a half walk, not bad. French Quarter was about a 40 minute walk, 15 by bike, or 10 minutes walk to streetcar line. The host was very nice, seemed to make himself available if I had needed anything. My only request would be more cooking equipment. There's a nice gas stove but very little in the way of cookware/utensils. Probably most people wouldn't cook on vacation, so maybe that's only important in my case. Overall, highly recommended, and I hope to come back and stay with them again.
