The Monte Cristo provided for a great stay. It's located on a beautiful street that will give any guest a feel of how the locals live. The place itself is homey and spacious enough for 4 people. My only complaint is we had to rely on the local cab companies since the place out of walking distance for the French Quarter and other touristy parts of NOLA (our fault though, rent a car!).

Jay was a tremendous host! Friendly and knowledgeable of the area's history and eateries. At one point, when we were stranded due to a cab that never came, he offered my group a ride to the FQ in his awesome truck. Also provided us with towels, toiletries, snacks, and a welcome gift in the form of a bottle of whiskey.

I would stay here again.
