This was my first airbnb experience.

Leron and Dennis were very nice hosts. Dennis was there to greet me and I got to spend time with both. They invited me to spend time watching TV with them to make me feel at home.

The room was clean and neat as shown in the photo. I wasn't terribly excited about sharing a bathroom, but that didn't prove to be a problem. It would have been nice to have a side table with a reading lamp. The room only had an overhead light which was a little inconvenient. The house was nice and comfortable overall. The bathroom was clean and they had two sets of fresh towels waiting in my room.

I wasn't happy with the location. Both Dennis and Leron stressed to me that it would have been an easy and safe walk to the French Quarter. I chose to Uber all of my trips, about $9 for a one-way to and from the French Quarter and Frenchman areas. A little more to the Central Business District. The Uber drivers took the route that I would have walked based on Dennis and Leron's directions. It didn't look like a terribly safe area. Again, I want to stress, this was my perception. I read other reviews in which people spoke about walking in the neighborhood so I may be overly cautious. It was no big deal to use Uber.

One small nit and possible suggestion: Like many people, I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. I would loved to have had a pot waiting in the morning. Again, this was my first airbnb experience. I know that hosts are not obligated to provide food or drink, unless they offer it. And, Dennis showed me the beans and a grinder and said I could make my own. Which I may have done had there been some milk or cream, but there wasn't, so I opted out. Again, this isn't a major complaint, just a "would have been nice" note.

Even after throwing in the Uber expense, this was still a good value compared to staying at a traditional hotel near the Quarter. I would airbnb again.
