This is my first Airbnb experience and I could not be happier with my experience.

I work a good away from home a part of the year and spend a great deal of time living in hotel rooms.

For this stay, I wanted a good location near the French Quarter, but balked at the high prices of most of the hotels. SO I turned to Airbnb.

Bobby is an excellent host -- charming, friendly and a longtime resident of New Orleans. With typical southern hospitality, he made sure I had everything I needed for my stay and was available for any questions about places to go and things to do in New Orleans.

In my ratings I gave Bobby's place 5 stars for location. If I could have, I would give it an Eleven! lol

If you like great music, restaurants and nightlife, the saying "location, location, location!" really applies here. Situated in the city's lovely Marigny district on the corner of Dauphine and Frenchmen Streets across from Washington Square Park, it is only a block away from the heart of the Frenchmen Street entertainment district.

I rented a bike from a shop down the street for my three day stay and had the entire French Quarter and Marigny at my doorstep without having to ever having to get in my car to drive anywhere.

While the clubs on Frenchmen Street are only a stone's throw away, the neighborhood where the house is located is actually very charming and quiet. The walk home is so short, I had no worries about noise, traffic or personal safety.

The room itself was clean and comfortable. Bobby has it stocked with most things you will need for your visit (including WIFI and an umbrella which came in handy for me one day during a brief rain shower).

The bed is in a loft above the living area. Make note that the loft, like most lofts, is accessible by ladder and is a bit of a climb so it might not be right for everyone. That being said, I found the bed very comfortable and cozy and got good nights sleeps all three nights I stayed. There is a futon in the living area as an alternative to the loft for sleeping.

One last thing about the location. Because this is New Orleans, you probably won't spend too much time in the room other than sleeping and showering. There is so much to do right outside the front door you will be gone most of the time.

Bobby's house is the perfect place to return and rest up while you plan your next day's assault on the city.

A lovely place, a pleasant host, a great location and a wonderful city. What more can you ask? I couldn't be more pleased.

Thank you Bobby! I had a great time. I hope to come back again!
