Rick is a very helpful, friendly and nice host. We stayed three nights and followed him directly on the first evening to his neighbourhood-bar and met some of his friends, what a enjoyable and warm welcome! Ricks place is spacious and offers all you need to explore wonderful Nola. A further plus for us was the location of the place, not in the extreme crowded downtown of Nola but just around the corner of the ferry, which is going directly to the French Quarter.
