Great location - only a few blocks away from the Quarter. Robert is a gracious, unpretentious host who made me feel welcome and at home immediately. I enjoyed the cozy courtyard and his 2 lovely dogs. Although the area looks a little run-down and "iffy"(like a lot of New Orleans), it turned out to be perfectly safe walking back from Bourbon St. alone at 11:00 pm on Saturday night...plenty of people out, and no problems.
The bed was comfortable, the room quiet, and the shower hot. I would definitely recommend Robert's home, and it would be my first choice if/when I return to this great city.
