Liked: The house was beautiful, and Glenn was a nice host, who made tasty breakfast and always had an interesting story to tell. There was a wide variety of free drinks available, including tea, coffee and soft drinks.
Disliked: My main meh-point was, that the room did not have a lock. There is a safe for valuables, nothing bad happened, and the other guests were super friendly, but it’s a recipe for theft at some point in the future. In the sense of “better safe than sorry” it would be great to have that changed. Same for the front door, which has to be locked manually when someone leaves, and someone will probably forget that at some point in time.There was a fridge with complementary drinks, which was very nice, but we drank like 15 small bottles of water. From an environmental perspective we would have preferred a refilling station.Last but not least the bus was only okayish in its reliability and came only every 30 minutes. Er ended up walking the distance to the French quarter several times. Nothing Glenn can do about this, but something to be aware of.

I enjoyed my stay

Liked: The breakfasts are top of the drawer class. Snacks, water and sodas were always in the chiller.
Disliked: The size of the television set.

Classic bed and breakfast with...

Liked: We had a wonderful stay. The Garden Room on the top floor had a great sitting patio for looking out over the pool and part of the city. The bed was sturdy and comfortable with great pillows. The double shower was huge and it is always nice to have a bidet in the bathroom. Glen was an excellent host and accommodated us as vegetarians with great meals every morning for us to get started. There was a convenient corner store across the street and a little coffee/snowcone stand just a block away. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub.
Disliked: It's a 150 year old house so temper expectations about state of the art facilities. We thought it brought character, others may disagree.

Can’t wait to come back.

Liked: Hands down one of the best experiences the host is a professional chef. Every single breakfast was amazing. We couldn’t have bought it at a restaurant the things that he brought to our table. The space was beautiful. He was very accommodating. Highly recommended will be back.
Disliked: All of the information and knowledge, the room itself, the breakfast, the host

Liked: Beautiful historic house. Glen went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and gave us plenty of helpful recommendations for the area. We also got a free upgrade and enjoyed a lovely private balcony and en-suite bathroom. About half an hour walk to the centre of the French quarter, or a quick bus/taxi ride.
