I highly recommend this Air BnB. Mike's art is displayed throughout the house, and is so beautiful. (If you're lucky, you might be able to see the artwork in his personal home, which is also magnificent.) Mike lives right across the way, and so if you need anything during your stay or have any questions, it would be very easy to access him.
The place is about an 18 minute ride to downtown, which can add up if you're taking Ubers everywhere, but it's also right on two bus lines that go straight to downtown, which somehow takes less time (and bus rides are only $1.25). My travel partner and I found this a worthwhile payoff to ensure that we could be away from the loudness of downtown at night and actually be able to sleep. Also, even with its distance from the French quarter (which, again, isn't that far), the location is not to be underrated. You can walk to Magazine Street from the apartment, which is full of cute, locally-owned shops. Additionally, there's a distillery about a block or two away that gives tours (and is on Groupon) and has great cocktails!
