Brian deserves every rave review you read. He answers any questions you have before the trip. We loved the quiet location- safe for walking, lovely Garden District homes, no craziness from the French Quarter, safe street parking right in front. We walked everywhere or took the St Charles trolley or the bus on Magazine street. ($1.25 or $.40 seniors each way or $3 all day, exact change) Vic meets you at check in, shows you everything and shares his wealth of information. They have a washer/dryer with detergent, coffee maker with local coffee, bottled water, toiletries, plenty of towels, extra blankets, and Vic turned on the space heaters for the chilly days. The location is ideal, one block off Magazine which is filled with great restaurants and really interesting stores, not just clothes. (Queork sells unique gifts made from cork.) One word of advice, always look carefully where you step! The sidewalks and streets are very uneven.
