We stayed with Leron and Dennis for 3 nights in March 2013. This was our first stay using airbnb, and we had a great experience. Dennis was up to greet us, despite or flight arriving at midnight. The room and shared bathroom was clean and stocked with a lot of information on things to do in NOLA. The charm of the house did not stop at the purple front door!
They were able to give us recommendations on things to do and local restaurants to try. The house is about a 15-20 minute walk from the quarter and we were told not to walk in the area at night, but felt very comfortable walking during the day. It was good to see another part of the city, quite different from the Quarter and touristy areas. Our biggest issue was getting a cab to take us home during the later hours.
Leron and Dennis even allowed us to leave our bags during our final day because we had a late day departure. Overall, we had a good experience with these welcoming and friendly hosts!
