Eclectic is a very fitting description for this place. Decorated in many styles yet still comfortable. Barrett was an excellent host and was there to greet me upon my arrival. He was also responsive to all messages leading up to and during my visit. He provided great info about the neighborhoods and events. Distance to the French Quarter is good, though I suggest only walking there during daylight. There is almost constant traffic noise with the I10 directly above, and personally I do not know how someone could sleep in the front room. You can escape most of noise in the back bedroom with door shut.
