Brian's place is very cozy and quiet. A sweet escape from The Quarter :). We used Lift primarily, but the streetcar is very cheap and easy to use with the app. Definitely visit Morning Call for their beignets and the best cafe au lait ever! Plus, City Park is a pretty walk in the morning.
Brian is super nice and responsive. The bed is comfy for two and the heater/air conditioner works great. I highly recommend Brian's place.
