We had a fun stay at Thomas's house during New Year's Eve weekend. The listing is very accurate so we knew exactly what to expect. We didn't get a chance to meet in person but it was still a seamless experience at check-in / check-out due to very clear and fast communication from him. We did end up having an issue that we shared to Thomas and he was quick to help resolve it. I can tell he is a great guy that really does care about providing a good experience for his guests. He left us a folder with house tips / local maps, and even provided some breakfast food and snacks for us. One bonus perk I didn't realize was that he had a record player with some classics available to enjoy as well!
The location is a few miles away from French Quarter so we did end up paying a fair amount of money on Uber during the weekend. We had some luck with public transportation at times too, but also struggled with crowds on the St. Charles streetcar. The neighborhood itself seemed a bit questionable at night but we never felt unsafe during the stay. His neighbor Ms Jesse was kind and helpful to us as well. Overall it turned out to be a great value and enjoyable trip so I would recommend Thomas's place if you are not able to shell out the $$$ to stay walking distance to the quarter.
