What a lovely shotgun house! The place was great and had a lot offer (laundry, kitchen, nice bed, good living area space, etc). Everything was taken care of, and in fact we didn't even get a chance to meet Paul until our last day (which was totally fine with us - Paul had everything taken care of and we liked the independence). He has 2 dogs which mostly stayed outside in the courtyard area between the two cottages, which was good, as I am mildly allergic to dogs, and so it was great that they were never allowed inside our place. The only thing was that they tended to bark frequently at whomever was passing by, and there was one night where they were barking quite late in the night.

The location was really convenient to walk to Frenchman Street, but be aware that it is just a couple of blocks into a slightly sketchier area of town. We felt fine walking during the day, but I would just recommend taxi/Uber at night, especially if you're alone. I never felt unsafe, but that was the impression we got of the area when we talked with some of the locals. I think overall it's a great deal for the location!
