I was very happy with my stay at Brian's! This was my first time using airbnb and you never know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I immediately felt welcome and at home, and Brian is a kind and helpful host who goes out of his way to offer advice and help out if needed. I used the bikes during my stay with no problem. It's an easy 15 minute bike ride to get to the French Quarter; there's also a bus stop about two blocks away that you can take as well. I suppose it's true that it's not the safest neighborhood in the city, but I had no problems coming home at night and as long as you have your wits about you, you'll be fine. 10/10 I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again Brian!!
