As a single woman traveling to New Orleans, I had some trepidation about renting from a stranger. But Rivers made me feel right at home. I had my own private room and the building is secure. Plus, Rivers was such a great host, offering directions, helpful tips about the area, and great snacks for purchase at his place. The apartment was clean and comfy--really close to my conference at the convention center and all the action in New Orleans. I would stay again if I were in town.
