Oneil was an amazing host! He was quick to communicate leading up to, and during our stay. He was there to greet us upon arrival, and left incredibly thoughtful touches in the house for our stay including coffee, bottled water, and snacks. He checked in on us several times throughout our trip and was quick to provide local tips and recommendations. In one word, Oneil is AWESOME!
The house itself was the perfect size for myself and my two friends, and had everything we could need (cups, coffee mugs, plates, bathroom towels, a hairdryer, an iron, etc). Nearly everything in the interior seems very new! However, there are a few things worth mentioning: the house is split into two separate apartments, and a bedroom in one apartment shares the same wall with a bedroom in the second apartment. Unfortunately this makes things not incredibly private, as the divide between the apartments is NOT soundproof. While this didn't impact our stay to a huge degree, it was a bit uncomfortable at times.
Another thing to note is that while we never felt unsafe in the area, we had several cab/Lyft/Uber drivers tell us we were staying in a rough area as we were being dropped off, and were cautioned to be careful and aware of our surroundings. While I think that is good advice for anyone traveling anywhere, I think it is important to share with others who may be staying in the same neighborhood.
All in all, we had a great trip. We were able to walk to the French Quarter during the day, and a quick and cheap Lyft ride gets you home at night. If you have any questions about potentially staying here, just reach out to Oneil! He was quick to answer any and all questions and is incredibly helpful!
