Dusty (I never met Matt) was wonderful-gives you your own space if you need it but also willing to help out if his guests are in a bind, which is what happened when my purse was stolen. Although his phone was turned off when the incident happened, as soon as he got my panicked messages he was driving down to canal st to pick me up and distract me with a wonderful conversation about the mobile vet clinic he runs and his animal rescue work. He drove me to Elizabeth's the next morning so I could eat my troubles away. The place itself is lovely: clean, comfortable (great bed and bedding!) and the patio is magical. The bikes are a great extra-you can easily ride to the FQ on historical streets with no traffic in about 15 minutes. If I come back to New Orleans I will be staying here!
