Brian's place is a funky, low-ceiling basement converted into three comfy bedrooms, arranged shotgun style from the street to the back patio. Arch New Orleans. If this description bothers you...you might not be the NOLA type. The location is excellent, right on the border of both the French Quarter and the Marigny, and it's a short walk even to the more far flung hidden spots up on St. Claude. Most impressive, though, Brian provided a lot of useful/surprising amenities: an iron, spray starch for my dress shirt, blow dryer, a fridge stocked with water. Since we came for a wedding, we especially appreciated the ability to thoroughly primp. Great place!
