My three friends and I stayed several nights over our spring break in the Rose Room. Robert's place and hosting style was a great fit for us. He was attentive and communicative in making our arrival go smoothly, checking in with us before our arrival, and answering questions about parking and logistics almost immediately.

While we were there, I felt like Robert was comfortable with us making ourselves at home. We lounged in the living room, eyed the art and books, threw a pizza in the oven, filled his cast iron skillet with another dinner, and it felt like a better cultural experience than walking down Bourbon. The dogs were a bonus as well =) Something to be aware of: one bathroom for up to 8 guests. Busy in the mornings, but good-naturedly so.

Robert gave us good advice on where to go running, coffee, see live music, buy groceries, and how to avoid sketchiness.

Highly recommended, especially if you want to stay near the French Quarter.
