I did not see or interact with Brian because he was traveling during my visit. He notified me about his travel and offered refund, I decided to stay. Brian gave me phone number of his friend AJ I may contact in case I need anything. AJ was very easy to reach and very helpful. Place was exactly how it was described. Bikes were available, close to bus line and not to far from historic districts of New Orleans including French Quarters. I walked less than an hours to French Market, passing Roch Market, Bakers row and many more very beautiful places. I loved the fact that this house is located in sleeping neighborhood. And you feel the rhythm of local life. Surprisingly people were gathering at Friday and Saturday evenings, having cookout parties, and were very friendly. I was excited to find that there are businesses mixed with living houses. I visited restaurant at the same block and had very nice dinner at arrival. On other side of living block was little bar where you could have some drink if you wish. At the house there were musical instruments: keyboard and guitar. For me it was a plus.
