I had a nice vacation in the “Nola” Phil is a great host, with excellent customer service, communication skills with a fast response. For being a super host Phil gives you the privacy, you need. If you love little dogs this is the place to stay, he has the adorable, cutest little pets. Don't worry the dogs will not bother you (lol) I was gone on adventures must of the time, therefore, I barely saw Phil, but if you need anything he will always be available.
Far as activities and transportation there is a bus stop right outside the home (bus #55) text north 1236 for the times, you can pay $3.00 for a 24-hour city bus pass which would give you access to all the bus transportation. (streetcar, green line ) I advise you to book the tours (trip advisor ) days prior to your vacation, ex: slave plantation, swamp , French market, and the cemetery. overall the people of New Orleans, are friendly and helpful.
