Phil is a generous, friendly, and intelligent host, providing the perfect balance for an amazing experience. I highly recommend Phil's place to stay at (and of course his precious pups) if you are heading to New Orleans. It is close enough but far enough away from the party scene, so if you do not want to deal with loud noise late into the night, but want to have an easy going place that you can relax until whatever time you desire, and enter and exit as you please... this is your spot. 10 stars!
