Gabrielle wasn't there but a friend of hers welcomed us, so the check in was fine, also because we were supposed to get there later. The house is peculiar and nice. Definitely an unusual way to discover an unusual neighboorhood. Bikes were essential to move. The French quarter, Frenchman Street, the Garden District and everything you have to visit in NOLA was a bit far, but we could get there by bike in less then fifteen minutes. The neighborhood was safe, but on the way home on St Claude you might not feel comfortable on your own. By the way on St. Claude there's a really nice bar to have breakfast and meet intersting people. Not so for there's a Family Dollar Supermarket (kinda weird after 8 pm) and some facilities. Our neighbours were friendly. It was a pleasure to relax on the couch under the porch after a long day or night in the Vieux Carre.
We really enjoied our stay at Gabrielle's, but we have to say that if you're more demanding than us, you could have some concern about the cleanliness and the block itself. Anyway if we got back to NOLA we would like to got back at Gabrielle's.
