We stayed at Brian's place for four days right as Mardi Gras was warming up, 2 weeks before Fat Tuesday. The location is fantastic!! 2 minute walk to Frenchman Street, right by the The Spotted Cat Music Club, and the Marigny Brasserie, one of our favorite restaurants. Plus, its on the corner of Royal, one block off Esplanade Avenue, so you just walk out the front door, cross the street, and we were in our favorite part of the French Quarter.
There were four of us coming from different places at different times. Brian was so accommodating, and made it easy for me to check in earlier than the usual time. The shotgun apartment was perfect for four women to share because we were spread out, each with out own bed, and able to wake up at different times, and not disturb the others. (Every room including the kitchen has a door you can shut) Having the washer and dryer was an added plus because I had been traveling, and we were leaving on a music cruise from there, it was great to leave with all clean clothes.
The apartment is simple and functional, and had everything we needed. Brian stocked enough coffee and a French Press to last the four of us until we checked out, and lots of bottled water in the fridge. The beds are all futons, except the twin bed in the back room, but the doubles were thick and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Brian's place, and would stay there again.
