Shane & Jehan were good communicators before we arrived and made us feel very welcome when we got to their adorable Irish Channel house. The place was clean and comfortable and full of character, and even includes a sauna! (Which we didn't use -- it was warm enough outside!) There were papayas on the tree in front and a cute, quiet garden/patio in back.

As others have said, the location is terrific, in a distinctive, safe, walkable neighborhood. Magazine St is just a couple of blocks with its cute cafes, bars, and shops. We had a lovely stay, with my only regret being that it was too short.
