Matt and his family were great hosts! The apartment (which is attached to the main house) was clean, functional, and fun.
The location is excellent - quiet and off the main street, but a short walk to city park, the street car, and a variety of local bars and restaurants. Having a parking spot was really helpful. The neighborhood seemed safe and the people were really friendly. It's also an easy ~15 min uber or drive to just about anywhere else you would want to go in NOLA (french quarter, downtown, garden district, etc.).
Not many negatives, but there was some occasional dog barking and other noise from the house during the day (not super early in the morning). Due to water heater limitations, the giant jetted tub is hard to completely fill with hot water - you can take a hot bath w/o jets or a warm-ish bath with the tub full enough to turn on the jets.
