Brian is a wonderful host. He is cool and very thoughtful. We found a basket of fruits and some products absolutely essential when we arrived. And believe me, when you've travelled for about 14 hours it's a plus!
His apartment is comfortable and clean. It is located in a quiet area with shops and restaurants nearby. It isn't in the hyper center of New Orleans, which make it relaxing, but you can easily take the public transport (only 15 minutes) or, if you like it, walking as we do.
I strongly advise it to you!!
