I went to school in New Orleans, so there wasn't much Jay had to do to make me feel welcome. It was nice sharing that familiarity with Jay. The place was a lot bigger than what I anticipated, and I had the opportunity to meet other guests who stayed in the house as well. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. It was about 10 minutes from downtown, and close to Xavier University of Louisiana, Tulane University, and Loyola University. The location was great for getting to places of entertainment. I would definitely recommend this spot to fellow travelers.
