The host was very welcoming when I arrived. She greeted me at the gate, showed me where to park and showed me around the apartment. I also very much appreciated the suggestions for several of her favorite restaurants. The accomodations were very much as described in terms of cleanliness, décor, etc. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds very comfortable and the living room cozy. I very much appreciated the proximity to Tulane University as my daughter was able to stay with me AND get to class on time without any fuss. The outside deck and chairs was great for relaxing and getting an little work done. The only difficulty I had was I could hear EVERYTHING going on in the adjacent apartment and the residence above. It was really loud and made falling asleep at night or sleeping in in the morning impossible.
