this was one of the best Air BnBs I have stayed in. I don't know where to start!
- the room was so sweet, with a comfy bed, great desk and cupboard space.
- the house itself is beautiful, with well-maintained bikes, endless supply of coffee (!) and working Air Con. Bathroom is well-stocked and the little outdoor seating area in the back is very cute.
- the "Holy Cross" area itself: what a pleasant surprise. Yes it may seem daunting at first but, as a solo female traveller, I did not once feel unsafe, out of place etc. Brian's neighbours are very friendly, and the location itself is ideal - 15 minutes bike ride in the French Quarter. Make sure to cut through the Bywater/Marigny streets to soak up the atmosphere of the creole cottages!
Also, make sure to check out the river walk along the Levy, which runs behind the neighborhood.
- Finally, Brian himself is such a genuine, kind and accommodating host, with an exceptional musical talent (make sure to catch him playing in the French Quarter!)I felt so at ease in the house, which is very important for me, and I just wanted to thank Brian once again for his part in making my New Orleans trip such an unforgettable experience.
