No wonder this place has such high ratings! I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said already, haha. Phil's house is such a comfortable, modern, and spacious AirBnb in a great, safe location. A week prior to arrival, Phil was already in touch about our arrival process. The property is a pleasant cab ride from the airport and is very easy to find. The guest rooms are conveniently on the second floor, with the stairs right by the front door, so getting in and out doesn't feel like you are disturbing anyone else in the house. Our room was bigger than it looked in the photos, with lots of storage space, blankets, and towels. Loved the very clean bathroom too - I have never been so happy about a bathroom as it had a room heater!!! LOL. You only share the shower with guests from one other room and that was never a problem, since there's also another bathroom down the stairs. Washer/dryer, steam iron, hair dryer are at your disposal as well, which was great, since we were in town to attend a wedding and our clothes were wrinkled from being in our luggage. The kitchen was awesome too! Also enjoyed using the little coffee/tea corner in the morning with his adorable little dogs watching.

Like I said, Phil's house is in a very ideal location away from the CBD/tourist spots, and most places you would want to visit are only a 10-15min drive away, anyway. If you're from the US and are comfortable driving, I highly suggest renting a car (it's pretty cheap) since there aren't many walkable places this quiet side of town; otherwise Uber is a godsend for being really affordable and fast.

If you don't want to stray into the FQ and just want options nearby, do your groceries at Rouse's over on Franklin (look for the Gator Pork Sausage), eat at the adjacent Sassafras Restaurant, or at Munch Factory next to Walgreens for home-cooked meals.

We availed of Phil's airport service (cheaper than a taxi!) and it was a great way to get to know this happy and funny guy! Our interesting chat about the film industry was too short, I must say. If you have time, strike up a conversation with him and you will definitely be entertained. I am happy to have chosen his place and he will again be #1 on my list when we come back to NOLA. Cheers, Phil! Thank you! :)
