Richard's place is warm and lovely. He's done an immaculate job restoring and renovating an old shotgun house with stunning, original wooden floors. The guest bedroom is large, comfortable and beautifully decorated (as is the bathroom, which is more or less private as Richard has an ensuite).
The location is perfect as it puts you smack bang in the middle of the city so all areas are easy to reach. It's a 30-40 min walk to the French quarter, however, if it's hot you can easily grab a street car down Canal street which will drop you right in front of Bourbon (for about $1). There's a couple of well stocked grocery stores within a ten minute walk as well.
Richard was a wonderful host and can now say friend as well. He was full of helpful information and was incredibly thoughtful and inclusive during our month-long stay there.
I couldn't recommend staying here enough and we certainly wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else whilst visiting NOLA.
Richard - thanks again for making our stay so memorable :) xx
