Bonny and Paul were very responsive to my questions and helpful, though I found I didn't need help with anything much while I was there - the apartment had everything I needed for my stay, and I was there for over a month. I did sometimes cook in the kitchen and I appreciated the gas hob, as well as that there were so many ice trays! That I could wash my clothes in the huge washing machine and dry them too was really handy.

The location was great, situated near the lovely Live Oak Cafe for brunch and Zotz around the corner for a late night caffeinated beverage. There are also some fantastic restaurants within walking distance - I recommend Cowbell, which does burgers, tacos and cocktails, at very the end of the street by the railway line. We could also catch the streetcar from the other end of Oak Street and that way get downtown and to the French Quarter. The neighborhood feels very safe and the residents seem all very friendly. We hired bikes for a few days, and that was a great, cheap way to get to the places that it was a bit too hot to walk to: Magazine Street and a fun stretch of Freret Street, for example.
