We really enjoyed our stay with Russell at the Oak View B & B. We had the Oak Room, right at the front of the house, which is a large, comfortable two-room suite. The bathroom is large, the bed comfy and the location is awesome. We loved being right at the Canal streetcar line, and walked around City Park simply because it's gorgeous and literally right across the street. Because of our schedule, we only enjoyed one breakfast, but beverages, including wine, an assortment of alcohol choices, coffee and sodas are available 24/7. What's not to love?! Also, no outrageous parking fees like the hotels have. There's a driveway, and it's included. This saves -- on average -- $40 per day. Calculate that in when you're looking for a place to stay! And . . . Russell is a true character with a big personality. Get him talking about Australia and tennis. Perfect host with a charming personality! We'll go back. Easy to get to the WWII Museum, to the Canal Street shopping arcade and all the nightlife in the Quarter.
