Brian was a great host! He gave me ideas in where to go outside of the French Quarter, was very responsive to any questions I had. The room itself was great! Spacious and clean. Yes, the neighborhood is a little sketchy looking (maybe some where you don't want to walk around alone at night, but that's most of the city) but it's quiet enough and very easy to grab an Uber to get to the French Quarter or grab a bus to. Perfect for someone who wants to be outside the tourist areas.
