Thomas's place is amazing, I can't recommend it enough! The pictures do not do it justice. It was perfect for my boyfriend and I for a 6-night stay in NOLA on a budget.
Appearance: Thomas lives on the ground floor that you can see when you walk in, and was often hanging out and happy to chat and give us tips on where to go - he is literally a tour guide so he knows what he's talking about! The house is beautiful and charming despite being in a not-great neighborhood, but we never had any trouble or felt unsafe even walking at night. The 3 Airbnb rooms are upstairs, one with a private bath and two with a shared bath between them. We stayed in the fleur-de-lis room with the private bathroom bc we were two people but honestly would have been comfortable in any of the other rooms. The bed was particularly amazing, especially after walking all day. We could occasionally hear voices from the room next to us, but it was by no means disturbing or loud.
Location: Thomas's place is maybe a 2 min walk from Canal St where it was super easy to catch the streetcar which ran about every 15 minutes, maybe more. Its $1.25 a person and it will get you to the French Quarter in about 15 minutes or less. Prices for uber ran from $7-$12 depending on time of day and distance. Very affordable! There are also a few cheap eats nearby so you dont need to travel far for food. The Ruby Slipper Cafe is about 7 blocks away, and Waffle house is right across Canal.
Other things: Thomas will message you with a key code to the front door after booking, so you can come and go as you please. There are also keys to each of the rooms for extra security. Thomas is happy to let you store food in his refrigerator and use the kitchen, which is nice. It is very clean as well! I am an avid user of Airbnb and if you have used Airbnb before I highly recommend this place! It is home-y, relaxed, clean, cheap, a close to everything.
