My girlfriend and I stayed at Kirk's place last week..it was as described in the ad. Bed was very comfortable, along with the abundance of towels. Neighborhood felt safe walking around, even at night..one cab driver told us the third night in that it was not safe to walk around at night in that area, so take that for what it's worth. 10 minute walk to Frenchman street, 15 or so to the FQ. A little on the outskirts if you want to go to Magazine street or further away locations..we spent $175 on cabs and only took maybe 5 because we wanted to walk more, however, two of those were to the airport which cost $40 a trip. STRICT check out policy..our flight was at 6 pm and Kirk would not let us stay a couple extra hours past the noon checkout time, which is fine, but just a heads up. **The mapped "PIN" is not in the correct location when I look at the map on airbnb with my safari browser..it is actually 15 blocks off, this might just be with my web browser but just FYI** Kirk was quick to respond via text message. Would recommend if you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to stay to get the feeling of living in NOLA.
