This place met our expectations. This apartment is on the ground floor of the host's primary residence. The ground floors in New Orleans are used as a sort of basement (except not underground), and this one was handily converted into an apartment. It was very clean and tidy, and had all the appropriate accessories (cookware, extra towels...etc). Checking in couldn't have been easier as the host was very proactive and detailed with his communications and instructions. The house was in a neighborhood that seems a little run down at first glance but as we stayed in New Orleans we realized it was a typical middle-class type neighborhood. The house itself is very attractive and well-kept. The house is about a 10-15 minute drive from the city center / French Quarter and is also pretty close to a lot of convenient shops (Winn Dixie, Marshalls...etc). The airport is also only about 20 minutes away. One thing to note - don't touch the latch near the doorknob. John (the host) alerted me to this fact in his initial pre-check in email, but, being a knob myself, I locked the door our first night using both the electronic lock (which is the one you're supposed to use) and the latch by the door knob. Even though I unlocked it the next morning, the door knob remained locked from the outside. After a quick panic we texted John, who responded after a couple hours, and decided to go see a plantation house about an hour from the city while we waited. John texted me back and the place was unlocked by the time we got back. Perfect! All in all, it was a positive experience, and I feel the apartment was a very good value.
