Ray is an awesome host. Very helpful, welcoming and accommodating, he made us feel at home.
Beds are good, shower is good, kitchen is spacious.
I liked Mid-City, but since we visited during Mardi Gras it was hard getting around, even though the streetcar is a block away. It's a little too far to walk to French quarter and Central business district where stuff happens (45+ minutes) so that was slightly impractical – BUT the area around the house is nice and quiet and we felt safe.
We'd definitely recommend this to our friends, especially the rest of the year when streetcars and cars can get you where you want :)
