I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in New Orleans and my stay at Devon's place. It is a 10 minute drive to the French Quarter area where I spent most of my time. Uber/Lyft to the Quarter cost around $12-15 though prices can surge during busy weekend hours--not surprisingly.
Devon was an awesome host--the place was kept pristine and included all the necessary amenities. I even woke up to him cleaning his already spotless home on the weekend. On top of that Devon's recommendations around the city was very insightful especially in regards to finding parking during Mardi Gras season! He also offered to pick up dinner for me on multiple occasions. All in all, I had a great stay--comfortable, clean, affordable and of course an accomadating host!
