We had a fantastic time in new Orleans, and Jay was a wonderful host! The house was very comfortable for three guests, with beautiful historic details. We didn't rent a car during our trip, but it was a very short walk to the bus stop. The neighbors were very friendly, and greeted us as we walked by, so we felt very safe in the area. Jay was a font of helpful information, had tons of maps and tourism flyers for us to look at, and suggested local bars and tours to take. At the end of our trip, Jay even called a cab for us. He was great, and we highly recommend staying at the Monte Cristo!
