Don was a great host. We truly appreciated his quickness in communication and being available when we needed anything. We had a minor issue where we didn't feel comfortable in the neighborhood and he was definitely on high alert. We truly appreciated him stopping by and checking in on us. Thank you so much!!!
The only issue was the property. To be clear you are staying in a duplex like home, which Don also owns. The walls are thin lol, we heard our neighbors, who were also out of towners, every single stomp, cough, laugh and cry. lol
The home is old and has been through the absolute most you can tell. Watch the top step outside of the home, liable to take out your knees if you are drunk or not paying attention lol. The inside was fine. The floors are uneven so be careful walking around and forgetting the elevated steps. I tripped pretty much everyday sadly lol. The stairs are slightly leaning and steep. But take you time going down them and you will be just fine. The home was clean. No issues with bugs.
The neighborhood...ahhh lol like Don said, be cautious. Be aware. Don't be drunk roaming around because honey, you can easily get got in the neighborhood. Convenience wise, it is perfect for the 7 minute Uber ride, 15 minute walk. There are great eats around where the house is but advise take an uber lol. Only walk during the day, but be cautious. But you are in the 7th Ward.
Overall, our stay was good at the home. We enjoyed our stay, but just be cautious in this neighborhood.
