Although we did not meet our host she was very responsive by text if we had any questions or concerns. The neighborhood was delightful and we took advantage of the nearby Starbucks. Yes, the bed is a pull out sofa bed but very comfortable. It would have been nice to have bedside tables to put one's books/i-pad glasses and water on. The room was charming however it contained a lot of personal items particularly in the bookshelves and owners luggage stacked in the corner.. other people's food in the refrigerator. The item we missed the most was a place to hang clothes. I was there on a business trip and would have appreciated even a coat rack in the corner. This was our first Airbnb booking, not sure I would do it again, will certainly read the reviews more carefully. our booking was during French Quarter Fest so we were very pleased with the price compared with hotels in the area.
