The neighborhood is not good, avoid walking there after dark (get a cab or an equivalent door-to-door transport, which will be around $7 or $8).
I'm not sure if the hosts live in the house at all, I never met them. I only received one message the day before I got there, that's it. They didn't respond to any of my other ones.
Other than that, the room and the house were fine. The kitchen was very clean and the living room was very cozy. The bathroom was ok and so was the room. The AC was a little too strong for my taste (it hit directly to the bed) and I my throat is sore because of that.
All things considered, I don't think this room is worth the price. Depending on the season, you can probably get a room in a small hotel around the French Quarter (a much better location) for less than what this room costs.
