Donald's place was plenty of room for the 5 of us and the upstairs beds were very comfortable.
The neighborhood looks a bit run down but we never felt unsafe and did quite a bit of walking even at night. The location was about a 20 minute easy walk to Jackson Square in the French quarter. The Rampart street car was not running when we were there so do not depend on that until you check into it.
We were able to communicate with Donald easily and he was very responsive. There were signs of the previous renters when we arrived and Donald came over and addressed the issues immediately.
The top step everyone else mentions is REAL so be careful!
Overall an average deal for the money.
