Brian's guesthouse is absolutely lovely! It is in his backyard, but completely separate from the house, so the privacy was very nice! You can't beat the location, as it resides in one of the nicest and safest neighborhoods of New Orleans. Street parking is free, and my girlfriend and I had no problem getting a Lyft (typically around $15 to downtown New Orleans).
The guesthouse is much nicer and cozier than the pictures depict. The guesthouse has wonderful New Orleans jazz memorabilia decorating the walls, and Brian does a great job capturing the spirit of New Orleans within the petite dimensions of the house. The A/C and indoor fan are both remote controlled, and the bed is super comfy! The shower is HUGE; it takes up almost half of the bathroom, so you can rest assured that your daily shower will never feel cramped here! The Wifi is super fast so you will never have a problem streaming your favorite movies or shows on Netflix. Also, we noticed some solar panels on the side of the roof (renewables are a huge plus in my book). Suffice to say, this location is INCREDIBLE for the price.
Brian was very clear on the instructions to get into to the guesthouse when he arrived. He let us keep to ourselves when needed, but was always available to respond to our questions. He is going to be a super host in the very near future, mark my words! Thank you, Brian, for the wonderful weekend vacation. We will definitely be back soon!
