Isaac is a fantastic host and was incredibly responsive and accommodating to all of my messages. The place itself was pretty nice and very well maintained. There's lots of space and beds so most people got their own bed. The shotgun style housing is interesting, as long as you're with close friends and ok with people walking through your room while you're sleeping or having multiple beds in one area (after a hand grenade or two, you won't care!). The beds were very comfortable and I really like the remote control setup for the lights and fan in each room. The door code system was a little tricky at first, but at least you don't have to worry about losing a key or sharing it among many guests. The neighborhood is ok, mostly residential so it's really quiet but there's not much immediately nearby. The area looks a bit run down, but felt safe enough even at night. Very convenient location to the Canal street car which will get you cheaply into the French Quarter (or elsewhere) in just a few minutes.
