Gabrielle has a great little house in near the Bywater. My Dad and I both stayed there very comfortably -- he took the bed and I got the pull out couch. I loved all the decorations on the walls and everything was well taken care of. We had breakfast at two tasty spots nearby, Satsuma Cafe and Elizabeth's, and took walks over to the French Quarter, which is about 30 minutes away, and the museums in the business district, which was about an hour. We would have used the bikes as well, but it was pretty rainy during out visit. Thanks for the wonderful southern hospitality!
