Colin's place is great! It's very clean, comfortable and conveniently located just north of the French Quarter. There is a great yoga studio nearby - the Church of Yoga - and for brunch we went to Pagoda, which has a great local atmosphere and serves amazing food. Both are about a 10 minute walk. Colin was a brilliant host - super friendly, helpful and communicative. I stayed for 5 nights with a friend over an academic conference. Strongly recommended!
