Phil was a very accommodating host. I arrived late in the evening, and even tho I used the designated side door, he came to greet me and help me in with my bags, as I was also trying to wrangle my dog, too. He was playful and friendly to my dog, and was very understanding when my dog made himself a little too much at home.
The location of Phil's house is not in walking distance of the French Quarter or the Garden District, but, it is located on a street that is a straight shot into the Quarter. There is also a bus stop in front of the house, as it is located on a corner lot, with easy access to all the RTA choices in town. Be aware, as it is on the street, there is some road noise in the room, as it is located on the front of the house, but nothing too disturbing. Phil also had a large variety of pamphlets to activities around town in the room, which made it easy to decide what to do while visiting NOLA.
If you are looking for an easy place to stay, especially if you are traveling with a dog, do not hesitate to stay with Phil!
