I can recommend Jay as an excellent host who responded immediately to inquiries and took good care of us during our stay. He knows the city and had fine recommendations for restaurants/things to do and even gave us a lift to the French Quarter Fest since he was going too. His loaner bike wasn't fancy but saved me the expense of renting, a major bonus for this active budget traveler. The room was exactly as pictured, and the house was comfortably furnished for down time. Although the location, on a nice block, is equally convenient to Uptown, FQ, Garden District, and City Park, it is not immediately in the thick of things; you can decide if that is a pro or con for you. You will need to ride several blocks to get breakfast in the morning, or buy your pastry ahead of time and drink the coffee he provides. If you have a car there is no issue-easy to park on the street. Cab rides were about $10 anywhere. Do note that Jay does all the upkeep at the house. If you are used to daily housekeeping by a professional staff, this place will not be up to your standards. For the price, the Amarillo Room is a great option, and Jay will treat you right.
