Gabrielle’s shotgun home is wonderful funky. We were greeted by old jazz on the radio, and all fans and airco keeping the tinseled dolls dancing. The house is inaquiet neighborhood, nearly two miles from the bustle of the French quarter. But a great location to start your walks.! Despite the 90+ heat (we didn’t even bother with the bikes). It was also easy to access by car , littletraffic to enter or leave the city.
