We really enjoyed our 3-night stay. The house is centrally-located on a tree-lined street and only minutes via major thoroughfares to the best clubs and restaurants in New Orleans, assuming you are driving. The bedroom was clean, the bed comfortable, and the other renters quiet and polite. The full- and half-bath were clean, worked well, and like the rest of the place, reflected Jay's funky, artistic style. We came during a cold time of the year, and the heaters, both in the shared living space and our room, did a good job at keeping the place toasty.
Beyond the space itself, what really makes Casa Blanca special is Jay and the local knowledge he provides. He turned us onto a nearby second line parade that we never otherwise would have found, which turned into a truly unique and wonderful cultural experience. If we needed anything, Jay was quick and easy to reach (he lives next door), and he seemed genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed his city and our stay.
