This is a great place to stay. The host is outstandingly responsive, full of local tips and it's perfectly located: the neighbourhood is a real locale, not a tourist trap like the French Quarter. It's close enough to walk easily to FQ or the jazz clubs of Frenchmen Street, but far enough away—maybe 15 minutes to the beginning of the quarter, that you are not effected by its excesses. There are low key local bars, clubs, restaurants and coffee shops; the kind of places you would go if you lived here rather than were visiting for a few days. I really loved staying here, and the host went the extra mile by (e.g.) loaning me a bike.
