Catherine and David's house functions like a traditional bed and breakfast with three rooms on the upper level and a large living room and kitchen on the entry level. The duplex building is divided into two separate dwellings - Catherine and David lives in one and the other is reserved for Airbnb guests. Guests therefore don't really spend time with the hosts, but with each other. This makes for a less homely and more B&B-like experience.
David met me with very clear instructions and showed me around the house. He is a very nice and approachable man who makes a real effort to keep the house in good order. Everything is very well organised, and as David and Catherine are just next door it is easy to contact them with any queries.
The house was clean and spacious and some basic snacks are provided. All rooms were booked during my stay and the other guests were lovely and we all got on very well.
The area was affected by hurricane Katrina and is still recovering to some extent - it is an up and coming neighbourhood and therefore a little rough around the edges. However, I felt it was safe and friendly.
