Ian was a wonderful and gracious host. I can't adequately express how he contributed to our first Mardi Gras! Not only did he have his beautiful home sprinkled with festive touches, he had a wonderful bottle of wine, snacks, beads, and even rain ponchos for our use. As if that were not enough, he invited us to join he and his friends along the parade route, made some fabulous Creole concoctions, and brought out Mardi Gras appropriate attire for my college age sons. You will never find a more hospitable host!! His home was clean, well equipped, comfortable, and centrally located. We were within walking distance to wonderful restaurants, night life and only a block from the streetcar. The French Quarter was only 2 miles away. The neighborhood was very quiet and clean.
We had a wonderful time at Ian's and would love to visit again soon!
