We had a wonderful stay in New Orleans with Rivers. The apartment was clean, easy to find, safe, and convenient. It's particularly great if you are looking to explore the city beyond the French Quarter. It is a quick (and cheap) Uber ride to anywhere you want to go, as well as a short walk to the St Charles Streetcar which is super fun. Rivers was a excellent host. We did not see much of each other given how much exploring we were doing, but we always felt welcome. Recommended.
