We were in town for Tales of the Cocktail. Trying to find a hotel is a nightmare and will cost you an arm and a leg. Brian's spot is a ten - fifteen minute walk from the quarter, but right in the Frenchman area where there are plenty of bars, restaurants and live music to be had. The place was stocked with a seemingly endless supply of ice water and Brian had the AC bumping for when we got there. There were only two of us, but you could easily house 3-5 people here. Would recommend for a more affordable option to hotels when coming for Tales!
