The host was very welcoming, providing bottled water and checking to be sure everything was ok for us. He was very responsive and even came by to fix the toilet (which was not an emergency) on Christmas day. They also let a local friend drop a gift by for us before our arrival. Don and Leda are 5 star hosts. The location will be great when the trolley construction is finished, just a few blocks from Frenchmen St. and a longer walk to the Quarter. Several locals told us to be careful in the neighborhood, and it really did not feel safe at times. I was glad we had rented a car. The house itself is lovely inside, surprisingly comfortable for 6-8 people. One thing to note is that two of the bedrooms are joined together by a doorway so you must walk through one to get out of the other. Overall great stay, only complaint is that the neighborhood is run down, making walking feel less safe.
