I was happy to find a licensed bed and breakfast operated by New Orleans locals. Laura and Eliot have been here since 1995. It was a treat to experience Laura's hospitality and be surrounded by Eliot's fascinating photographs of New Orleans over the years. Laura continually went out of her way to answer our questions and help us out, and was full of recommendations for things to do during our brief stay in the city. The pastries and coffee provided every morning were a great boon to busy travelers, saving us the time of hunting for breakfast. It was great to be able to walk to the City Park and Bayou St. John, and the bike ride to the French Quarter was short, easy, and scenic. I only wish the weather hadn't kept us from enjoying the beautiful patio area.
