I stayed with Brian for 3 nights, and it was a wonderful experience. The private room and private bath are both very clean and comfortable, and everything regarding the stay went very well. Access to some of the most fun and authentic areas of New Orleans, such as Faubourg Marigny, Bywater, and Frenchmens Street, are an easy bike ride away. The Make It Right (Brad Pitt) houses are only 6 or so blocks north, also easy biking. There is a laid-back neighborhood bar next door with sweet soul music on the jukebox; say hi to Ms. Sharon for me!

What really makes this a fantastic place to stay, however, is Brian. He is always eager to help in any way possible and answer any questions, plus he is full of useful advice, such as the best cheap po-boys that locals eat (loved the catfish at Rampart Food Store!). The use of a bike was really important for my trip, and Brian made sure the one I used was in good shape. Brian is also an amazing musician and super-kind.

This place is very recommended for an authentic, comfortable New Orleans experience in a vibrant neighborhood free of tourists but near great places like Bacchanal, Elizabeth's, Mimi's and more.
