Phil was an amazing host. He let me check in early, and picked up my friend from the airport. Super nice and flexible with when my friends arrived bc we all came on different days. The room was huge and perfect for the 3 of us. Private balcony was awesome and he left 3 chairs and water for us on arrival. Full access to the house besides other bedrooms, tons of things to do. Bus stop was super convenient - took 55 right down to canal street, and from there we were able to go anywhere. Great conversations with him on my first night and he made my friends feel just as welcome. If I ever went back to beautiful crazy Nola, I would def stay in his beautiful home again ( if the dogs are making you have second thoughts, they only bark when you open the door, my friend is allergic and she had minimal contact and no issues.) buorbon street, magazine, canal,French quarter, French street--it's all there! I'd rec. buying all day bus pass, (3dollars) bc it lasts for 24 hrs, buses run pretty much 24/7 and you can use same bus pass on the cute street cars as well. Bring your id everywhere. And have fun, even if it's pouring rain it's an amazing time(it was for us until our last day.! (We brought towels and sheets even though it was unnecessary bc he provided all of that) went to dollar store and purchased soap and toothpaste. Just note Louisiana's weather is a little crazy!
Thank you Phil!!
