Brian was great; we (two females!) had no complaints and would definitely stay with him a second time. He's also a great musician; if you're lucky you may hear him play. He's two blocks from the bus, which we didn't even have to use every day because he rustled up a second bike for us to use. It's about 15 minutes to bike to the French Quarter and maybe another 20 to get to City Park, which is absolutely beautiful.
