We had a great time at Dominic's place. It's in a great location near Magazine Street and also not too far from the French Quarter. Just blocks away there are big mansions in the Garden District, of which you can do a great self-guided walking tour. The streetcar is about a half mile away, so you can use that to get to the French Quarter if you want to save some money and avoid Lyft/Uber.
Dominic is a really nice guy. The very first thing he did after I booked was ask what kind of beer we like so he could find some for us. Oddly enough, we didn't actually run into Dominic for a few days, even though we were both staying in his place, just because he was out working or we were out with friends, but we finally met and got to hang, we had a great time drinking beers on his porch with him.
His place is a little tight, but that's just because it's a "shotgun home" (something very common with NOLA). Anyway, as a result you kind of have to walk through his space to get to the bathroom. However, it was clear to us that he was putting our comfort before his own in pretty much every way, which is the sign of a great host. Plus the location more than made up for the size of his apartment. I'd stay here again. Thanks, Dominic!
