The house is great. It is very clean and well located. Although 3 miles away from the city centre, the cable car is only two blocks away and can take you to the French Quarter in 15 min. The house is located in the Bayou, which a very nice neighbourhood. Plenty of nice pubs for drinks and food at walking distance. The beer garden, literally behind the house, is awesome.
Two disappointing facts though:
1) internet wasn't working, I was promised that this will be solved within a day or two which never happened.
2) the heating was very loud and I couldn't sleep well if I wanted not to freeze at night.
If Brandon solves these two issues (which I believe are easy to solve), I would highly recommend staying at his place.
