The place is well designed, clean and overall very cozy. The a/c is working wonders if you are there over the summer (we came in early May and surely needed it). Communication with the host was easy and fast, any smaller issues we faced were quickly resolved. Some locals advised us to be careful when we walk around alone at night, but we did not have any disturbing incidents/confrontations. To the convention center, it is around 20 minutes by foot, to the French Quarter around 30-35. The business district can be reached in 15 minutes. By car obviously a lot faster. We surely would come back for a next trip.
