Gabrielle was a great host. For starters, she responded to my request within an hour. The price was great, and the description was accurate. The neighbors were friendly. We walked to the bus stop with our kids and hitched a ride into the French Quarter. We tried to use the bikes but we didn't have a wrench to attach our bike trailer for the kids so we didn't get a chance. My 5 year old LOVED the place (he actually didn't want to leave) and my husband wanted to read all her books. When we visit New Orleans again we hope to stay at Gabrielle's again.
