My buddy and I both enjoyed our stay at Byron's place. It's close to the French Quarter but not too close. We never felt unsafe in the neighborhood...people we saw nearby were friendly.

The place is nice as it gives people separation, though if you wanted to also use the sofa bed you should know there is no divider or door between that and one of the beds. Also access to the bathroom is through the rear bedroom, typical of the style of house.

As Byron states, the building and the surrounding area are a work in progress, but there was nothing that prevented us from being comfortable or enjoying our stay.

Although we never had the chance to meet, Byron was helpful and accommodating. I would recommend this location to others.

Other info: Cab from the airport is a set $36. Uber back to the airport was $34. I've taken the E-2 bus from the airport too before, and would budget about 90 minutes for that; $2 for the E-2 + $1.25 for the connection. Uber to Garden District Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 from Byron's place was $13. Nearby food recommendations: We enjoyed brunch at Horns in the Marigny and had a great dinner at Paladar 511 near Frenchmen St.
