Tom is fantastic host! He was extremely nice to us at arrival and during the entire trip.
Location is far from ideal, though. The neighbourhood is not great and it's dark at night, you may feel unsafe to walk around at night. Although an Uber trip may be US$18 or so on average, at busy times it may be very expensive. On Saturday night we got a quote of more than US$50 for an Uber drive; a place closer to French Quarter might be preferable if you don't rent a car.
