As a family of 4 with 2 teenagers, this was SO much better than a single hotel room, (and WAY more affordable than two rooms!)
We were initially nervous when pulling into the neighborhood, but it was fine. Very quiet, no problems at all, we ended up feeling at home.
We got to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go pretty quickly, but even though we had a car, I recommend using Uber to the French Quarter. When you factor in the cost to park in most of the lots, we found it cheaper (and less frustrating) to be dropped off and picked up.
Miriam was exactly what I hope for from an AirBnB host: very friendly, welcoming, and quick to respond if we had a question, but completely unobtrusive. We really felt like the place was ours while we were there.

Thanks, Miriam!
