Brian was a great host. The check in process was smooth and easy. I spent a week at his place & it was absolutely trouble free. I love the Holy Cross neighborhood. Mercede's place next door is the neighborhood hangout. You must go there! Say hi to Mercede or her daughter Sharon. Sharon, even made me a spacial plate of fries chicken & red beans and rice and delivered it to the house! Brian has a great handle on the music scene in town and can give you pointers about where to go & what shows to watch. He also was awesome in guiding me away from the tourist traps. He even made me a personalized list of places to check out when I get to Austin, TX. Can't recommend him and this place enough. You'll have a great time in NOLA. Laissez les bond temps rouler!
