Barrett, as accurately described in previous reviews, was fantastic. He made us feel so welcome and described the surrounding areas upon checkin. It is so nice being a short walk from the French Quarter, and even though you're close to the interstate you don't even notice it once inside. The house was well appointed and had a great feel to it. We were even lucky enough to hear a few second line parades while visiting. You could walk out and view the folks walking right by having a great time. This is such a great way to view the city without having to stay on Bourbon St. Thanks Barrett, we hope to get to stay here again.
