You know a place is special when every Uber driver that picks you up asks if you actually live in the house and then compliments it. And that's just the outside. Inside you will find a modern home full of beautiful local artwork, casual common area with a large tv, a large kitchen, and a full sized bathroom. I was staying in the historic treme room, which might actually be bigger than my room in San Francisco. A high bed with easy access to outlets; a dresser with a tv, a fan, and a closet that easily could go for a couple hundred a month in SF.

Hollis was an amazing host, providing suggestions on where to eat nearby (he did not do me wrong with Melba's and Sammy's, which is a quick walk down the road), introducing me to New Orleans culture (being a host, Mardi Gras Indians, the terrible politics), and some solid conversation. He had friends over who were likewise as nice and helpful, and it was fun talking with the other guests. This was treated like a legitimate bnb, but also worked as a quick in and out. Water bottles and snacks were also available.

This definitely isn't a party house, but if you are looking for a clean room, an amazing host, and staying in one of the most beautiful houses away from Bourbon Street, I highly recommend this place.
