Sam is a great host and he was very quick to respond to us. We had called him to let him know that someone was taking the parking spots and he fixed that issue in minutes.
The apartment is definitely in an older building so it did have some ware and tear but you can tell he is working on fixing it.
I definitely reccomend staying here if you are looking for a not so busy area of NOLA. It's about an average 15-20 uber ride to Bourbon St and The French Quarter. It ran us about $15-$20 each time but was totally worth us not having to drive.
