Brian was a great host and such a nice guy. Very understanding and kind to both me and my dog (thank you for letting my pup stay!). He's fun to hang out with and has great advice for how to get around the city. The house is what I would describe as a diamond in the rough...recently renovated in the lower 9th ward. My only complaint with the whole stay was noise. The house is right next to a bar (as Brian states in the ad) and it can get very loud, especially around Mardi Gras time, and people like to walk around outside and can be pretty loud. Otherwise a great stay.
