A wonderful host who lives in the unit next door. He was there to answer questions and very personable. The unit is older, but in great shape for the age. Parking was off street and there are only 12 steps up stairs to get to the unit. There seems to be a lot of people working on their homes in this neighborhood with everyone being very friendly. If you have never stayed in a "Shotgun" style home, here's your chance. We would definitely stay here again. Everything worked and there were some provisions in the fridge when we arrived, that was an unexpected surprise. There is much needed work being done on the streets surrounding the neighborhood, don't know when they will be finished, but at least there is work going on. It's an easy drive to the Garden District which is just south of this location. If you really like to walk, just take Napoleon south to St. Charles and hop on the Trolley. We choose to drive everywhere this time around. We even braved driving in the Quarter. Did I mention the beds were super comfortable? No cable TV, but there is a large flat screen in the living room with game consoles also access to Netflix and other shows in HD. For our first time using Air BnB, this was a home run.
