Thomas' place was great for our stay. Thomas' greeted us and gave us tips for the area. The house was very clean and comfortable, it felt like home.
We felt incredibly safe walking around the neighborhood during the day, but took the advice to grab an uber back at night (which just makes sense anyway).
The house is close to the St. Charles streetcar which will take you right to the French Quarter, it is close to the Garden District, and is close to the Superdome. Overall great location.
Note: The weather was very hot in New Orleans while we were there and the air conditioning at Thomas' place was working great :)
