We had a wonderful stay with Brian for spring break! The room and house were very nice and comfortable and only a 10 minute drive (15 min bike) down to the French quarter. The area at first glance seems a little rough but we had no issues at all and everyone was very friendly when we were out walking. We did not see much of Brian but he was a very gracious host. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay while they visit New Orleans. Good vibrations!
