I had a great experience staying at Dave's place. Check-in was easy - he provided detailed instructions on how to get in. The room was nice and clean. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood about 1-1.5 miles to the French quarter. I saw Dave briefly on the evening I checked in, and he seems like a very pleasant and nice person, though I didn't end up getting to talk much more with him.
I'd happily come back next time I'm in NOLA.
