Rivers was an excellent host in all respects -- friendly, professional, and responsive. He provided a very useful welcome packet with information about the area and recommendations for things to do, eat, drink, etc.

The room itself was spartan but comfortable, and the peaceful Lower Garden location was a welcome relief from the chaotic tourist trap that is the French Quarter. Rivers' apartment is conveniently located near the St. Charles streetcar line and the 11 bus line, both of which are great for taking excursions uptown. Going downtown to the CBD or French Quarter takes a bit more time, but still relatively convenient.

All in all, an excellent stay, and recommended without reservation.
