I stayed with Francoise two nights a week for 5 weeks and my initial, very positive, impression did not change. Francoise is very friendly and welcoming, always available via phone if she's not home. The accommodation was as it's depicted on airbnb. I found it to be a very warm, secure--and interesting--sort of place. I was studying so the desk in the bedroom was important to me, but there are plenty of other places to study or sit with a cuppa--like the open back porch. Weather was cold for every stay in New Orleans and though Francoise was not always home she made sure I knew how to work the thermostat (and left the house very warm for me before I arrived). This house is around the corner from Magazine Street, and not far from Whole Foods, so anything and everything is within a walk. Parking was not a problem and I felt completely safe. Actually, I felt very at home.
