Austin and Alice are excellent hosts. They were very accommodating to our requests, flexible and prompt to meet us at check-in (weren't sure when we would actually get there, driving), and they left some welcome treats in the house. The house was perfect. So much character, everything we needed during our stay. Beds were comfortable. Backyard was a nice place to chill and talk. Location was perfect too. Walking distance to the festival (at city park- the camp chairs came in handy!), delicious restaurants, cafe, and coffee shops around the corner. Easy to get a cab or uber to French Quarter and St. Claude. Neighborhood was quiet and safe (saw several patrols down our street); sorry about the noise when we came home at 2 and 3 am but neighbors didn't complain or call the cops. I can't believe this was available two months before our stay, and cheaper than anything comparable this close to city park and fairgrounds. We absolutely recommend this destination to other friendly travellers.
