Robert's place is in a GREAT location. One block from the start of the Frenchman Quarter with great bars and live music. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to Bourbon Street which is perfect because Bourbon street is way too loud for me to stay on. I like to see nightlife but don't want to hear it when I am sleeping. I was a single female and walked around safely the whole time- I just avoided the less crowded areas at night. Robert's place is off a busy street so it always felt safe. Robert was an AMAZING host. He taught me so much about New Orleans and meeting him was a highlight of my trip. He is a great host- I can't imagine anyone being better. The accommodations were perfect for me. I was a little nervous about the ladder to the bed but ended up having no problems with it- even after a really late night on Bourbon street. Seriously an overall great experience. The location and the host are perfect.
