Byron was a great host. The apartment was clean and ready when we arrived. Byron was friendly at check-in, gave us tips and then let us be. The apartment is actually on the same street as Bourbon street, so after a few minute walk Prauger street turns into Bourbon, which is great. It was about a 15 minute walk to the French Quarter, which was perfect. The location IS safe, despite first appearances. Over all this was a very enjoyable first trip to New Orleans for my friends and I, and I look forward to returning!
