James' place is amazing, I would 100% stay again.
Room: We stayed in the room which had access to a kitchen area, which meant that if we wanted to we could have cooked 'at home'. While we didn't do this, it was nice to have that option available. There is a shared bathroom with one other room, which was not a problem at all, and the bathroom itself was clean and convenient.
Check In: James was on top of communication, responding quickly to any questions we had. At the time we visited the door had a key-code lock, which made getting in and out a breeze, and it was handy not to have to carry around keys with us. James was also willing to let us have a late check-out, which of course cannot always be accommodated, but it showed that he was willing to go above and beyond to help us out when our flight got changed to later in the day.
Location: The neighborhood felt very safe, we walked to and from the Quarter and Frenchmen each night (about a mile), sometimes well into the night, and never had any problems. We also never had any problem getting Lyft/Uber if we needed to. There are also several bars and restaurants in the area if you want to eat close by, and it's a very quick ride, or reasonable walk, to the French Quarter, Frenchman Street, and other surrounding areas.
