Our host was very responsive to text messages. She gave us information about NOLA ahead of time (a guidebook) and instructions on how to get into the residence. The pictures of her place are entirely accurate. It's newly renovated and beautiful. The location is perfect in many ways - close to the French quarter but not in it. We were able to walk, take buses and street cars to get wherever we wanted to go from the neighborhood. Overall we had a completely positive experience, and we'd highly recommend this charming apartment.
