I can honestly say all of the reviews on Hollis are accurate. He makes you feel at home in his home, from the moment he says "hello". I had read that he does a lot of extra but I was not expecting nearly as much VIP treatment that I received from him. From taking me around the city, to introducing me to Devin who is just as kind and helpful. I ended up using Hollis more for rides to downtown then Uber (surcharge was up most of Mardi Gra week) at times the taxi can be cheaper to take you the 8-10 minutes (driving) it takes to get you to and from French Quarters/Bourbon street. I would also recommend the bus as well, it comes every 15-20 minutes. I would ask Hollis about great places to eat and to listen to music. He tends to want to give you the more better and cheaper choices and keep you from spending unnecessary amount of money. I plan on coming back and when I do I will stay with Hollis. His home is more bang for your buck and he's worth a tip at the end of your stay. Trust me!!
