Phil was a great host! He was very friendly and responded super quickly to all of my messages as soon as I booked his place. It was also very easy to check-in and out because his house has an electronic keyless entry with a pass-code which made coming and going a breeze! Even though Phil was there to greet me and give me a tour, the fact that we didn't have to organize an exact time for a key exchange made it extra easy :)

Overall the house was really nice, it was extremely spacious with a huge living room and kitchen, and the location of the bedrooms upstairs made the guest bedrooms feel very private. The room where I stayed was just perfect. It was really quiet and clean, with a comfortable bed, nice pillows, and everything I needed including a TV, nightstand, dresser, and closet. The bathroom was also super clean and nice, with plenty of counter space to put on make-up or get ready in the morning.

During my stay I was super exhausted from several long shifts at work, but I was able to rest and relax really easily because the room was so quiet and peaceful.

Phil does have several adorable little dogs who were pretty quiet and friendly, but they seemed well-trained and like to hang out downstairs so they weren't at all in the way in the bedrooms upstairs if you aren't a dog person.

Location of the house was easy to find and had parking which was great! For guests without cars, it might be a little tougher to get around to New Orleans on public transport, but it is a quick Uber ride to the French quarter or restaurants around St. Charles and Magazine.
