Jim and Brian are cheery, convivial, relaxed hosts with great communication skills. See the photos: this is a great place if you really love scritching friendly dogs -- which is us for sure! The highlight of the space was the covered patio outdoors, in the midst of a delightfully curated back yard with pretty plantings, nice lighting, and local art. This worked well for us because we can't tour all the time and wanted a homey oasis after the Mardi Gras part of our trip. The neighborhood is very cute but backs up to something a bit more industrial. Still, we were able to walk to a nice bakery and through an upscale neighborhood in the other direction for a lovely, yummy Mexican dinner. (We were guided there by our hosts.) I didn't rent a car and Lyft worked well for us. This place is not near public transportation but everything is just a short drive. The space indoors is roomy, clean, and nice too -- & thoughtfully outfitted with snacks! We totally recommend this spot and will be back!
