Brian's place was located perfectly for those wishing to explore the French Quarter and Frenchman's St. While the place might be old, it added character, was clean and fine for my dad and me. Brian warned us there may be sound from the outside with this being a lively area. Occasionally a voice from the street was heard but not enough to keep you awake. The only sound that bothered us was the sound of footsteps in the apartment above. One morning we woke up to a loud thump and thought someone was coming through the ceiling. Unfortunately this isn't where Brian lives and I hate to review something that's not his problem, but feel it needs to be known bc it's hard to sleep in late. Would I stay here again? Probably so. Brian's a great guy and you can't find better value for the location. Thanks again for a great stay!
