Thomas's place is in a great location, you can walk to a lot of good places and it's a short Lyft to the French Quarter. The house has a great porch, which we took full advantage of. He had a lot of breakfast options for us, which was unexpected and AWESOME! He even had a first aid kit with bandaids...you know for blisters/walking. ;-)
The neighborhood is totally fine to walk around in during the day, and depending on the direction you're coming from fine at night too but definitely be on the cautious side. I would definitely stay here again!
