We wanted to thank John for accommodating us, especially since we ended up having a last-minute addition. The place was super clean, and quite modern considering the picture of the outside was quite nondescript. He had towels and a few bottles of water in the fridge, which was great.
However, we later found out from our Uber drivers of the neighborhood's reputation, and I feel that it's information the host should at least let people know of at some period during the booking, considering you can't see the address and aren't from the area. Also, the amenities were a bit lacking: very (very) minimal hand soap, only one roll of toilet paper so we had to buy some at the local corner store, and not even salt and pepper. Also, there was no Wi-Fi, which could've been nice for the price we paid, and the fact that all of the networks were saturated due to the Festival.
Overall though, we really liked the place and would come back. It was nice to be able to step out of the Bourbon Place madness into some quiet.
