Oh my goodness, if you are looking for a modern day enlightened Buddha brother being, look no further. Jay is one of the most calm, giving, loving men I have ever encountered. My partner and I stayed at The Casa Blanca for four nights while checking out NOLA for the first time and Jay went out of his way to offer recommendations, suggestions, personally come get us at the bus stop when we were disoriented, etc. etc. Any time we had a question he was available and had phenomenal suggestions. We lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves most of the time but even if other folks were there, there is plenty of space and this particular room is incredibly spacious. The house is on a well let main street and we biked home (using bikes we borrowed from Jay) many evenings, feeling completely safe. We HIGHLY recommend staying with Jay!
