Brian's is Golden!
You will love your stay here. The neighbourhood is authentically New Orleans, with my favourite bar in the US right next door - everyone is super-friendly, play something on the juke box - and the mississippi just 3 minutes walk away. You'll breathe the freshest air in the city here and believe me that's important.
The house has had a very modern renovation with timber floors and a great open kitchen and living area, but you will still have plenty of privacy in common areas. My bed was super comfortable, a/c was great, wifi was excellent. I hope to stay here again.
My advice for the city in general: get out of the french quarter, and make the most of the daylight hours!
Thanks Brian hope to see you soon.
