Phil's place is a private room but the house is so big you really get privacy and sometime feel you're alone. We were two people and it was perfect. And Phil was a really nice host, greeting us when we came there (even though you can do self check-in as you get a code to get in) and we chatted a bit. We would definitely go back to Phil if we go back New Orleans.
(Also, it takes around 20 min to get to French Quarter. The bus stops right in front of the house and takes you all the way into the center, which is awesome.)
