Our stay at Devon's place was overall very good, the house is beautiful, the room spacious with a comfortable bed and a bathroom, which is shared, but we had it basically for our own.
The location is ok, it's about half an hour walking to the French Quarter and close to the Garden District. You can use public transport or Lyft which is not too expensive. The immediate surroundings look a bit run down, but we didn't feel it was unsafe during daytime.
I would recommend you to stay here, it's a very good price for what is offered!
We read a lot of amazing things about the host though and while I'm sure Devon is a great person we didn't have the same connection, mostly because he had friends over the whole time we stayed there. This was probably an exception though.
