The hosts were very nice. This is a great property. Don't let the fact that it's a room and not a full unit scare you off. There is a separate entrance, and it's completely closed off from the rest of the house. In fact, I didn't access the rest of the home at all. There is a very secure division of the two areas. We had our own bathroom, coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave, etc. It's the same amenities as a hotel room, but less expensive, and a more authentic experience. The location was perfect for us. However, if you prefer a more mainstream Nola experience, this is not for you. We, however, appreciate things less touristy, etc. I will be back for sure!
