Do not hesitate to rent Khalil's house. I can not think of any negative aspect at all. Khalil was great at answering any questions I had prior to arrival, we given a tour of the house when we got there, he was available to help us with any thing we needed during our stay, and the check out process was effortless.
The house itself is absolutely beautiful and easily accomodated our party of 10. We spent most of our time on the differnt outdoor porches...but the beds were very comfortable, and the house was perfect for all of us to gather in one location...or we could even escape to other parts of the house for some peace and quiet if need be. The location is unbeatable. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and safe. There is a trolley stop less than 1 block from the house that will have you at the French Quarter in 10-15 minutes. There are numerous great eating places and watering holes within easy walking distance of the house. There is a convenience store 1 block away, and a commercail district 3 blocks away...so if anything is needed, it is easy to get. We attended a music fest in City Park, and that was also an easy and enjoyable walk. There are 2 dedicated parking spots directly in front of the house, and ample street parking available very close by. In fact, once parked we never had to use a car until it was time to leave.
It truly was one of the best weekends our group has ever had, and Khalil's house had a lot to do with that. We are already planning a trip back to NOLA, and I guarantee that whatever dates we paln it for, I will check the availabilty of Khalil's house first.
If you are looking for a place to rent in NOLA...do not hesitate to rent Khalil's!
