I had a wonderful stay at the Obeah Guesthouse. A lovely room and large ,clean bathroom. Lyle was an excellent host . He made me feel right at home and had many good suggestions and helpful advice.
The breakfasts were amazing , showcasing many typical foods of that area and of the US as a whole. I won't go into detail but suffice to say I would rate the flavour and presentation as restaurant quality. You will not look at a piece of toast in the same way again!
The area (Bywater) has a 'bohemian' feel to it with many brightly coloured houses and exotic plants and trees (well exotic to me anyway). It's about a 20min stroll to the start of the French Quarter and a further 20mins to centre of downtown.
I will mention that the $36 fixed fare taxi price at the airport is only valid until Elysian Fields Avenue. After that it's metered , so be prepared to pay a little more ($45 or so).
I almost forgot Bubba the dog, what a cutie , I'll miss him.
