Staying at Erin's was a great experience. She's a real airbnb pro! Her room has all of the touches to make one comfortable during the stay, from plenty of privacy, to a comfortable bed, to a shower with all of the toiletries one needs and spa-quality towels (and robes). Arriving/departing was easy. Erin was accessible, but out of the way. Met her briefly by choice one evening, and she was very nice, but her place is set up so if you want to have your privacy, not a problem. Her family was home while I was staying in the room, which is separated from the house. But it is attached, so you can hear them occasionally, but nothing different from living in an apartment building and occasionally hearing a neighbor. I enjoyed a more authentic New Orleans experience in mid-city, but some travelers may feel more comfortable/safe in a more tourist-centric, walkable area. I rented a car and was happy to not have to walk around an unfamiliar neighborhood at night.
