Brian is a wonderful host: he met us when we arrived early, cleaned and prepped quickly after last guests...and then even invited us to a local party where he was playing! It's an amazing location. The R Bar is right across the street, Horns and Ruby Slipper are a few blocks away for brunch, Frenchman St is a few blocks, the Quarter and Bywater are on either side...it can't be beat! Be advised of noise from the R Bar; it was much busier for us because of Mardi Gras, but it's very close and may go late. We had a perfect trip...thanks, Brian!
