Brian was such a great host and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He is very quick at responding and answering any questions that you have, and since he lives right upstairs, he is right there if you have any issues. The apartment was as shown in the photos. It's an old building so as long as you go into it with that in mind, you'll be fine. Plenty of space in this place. It was chilly out and the heater in the apartment worked great! Didn't have much of a chance to use the kitchen but it was great to have a refrigerator for drinks and Brian even had the fridge stocked with waters! The beds were comfortable and the linens clean. Location was great and just a few blocks from the Cafe Du Monde and basically a block from the start of the French Quarter. The only bad thing about the location is that there is a bar catty-corner to the apartment and on Friday and Saturday nights the partying goes on all night long and is quite loud. I wore earplugs and was fine, and this is New Orleans after all, but if you are looking for very quiet place this might not be for you (nor would I recommend you stay anywhere near the French Quarter as I feel that any lodging in that vicinity is going to have loud neighbors). If you're looking for a comfortable place to sleep while enjoying New Orleans, this place won't disappoint.
