THE LONG REVIEW

Robb kindly showed my friend James and i around the property with great pride and enthusiasm upon our arrival. It is an impressive and unique home which beautifully mixes traditional Louisiana style with modern features all designed and executed by Robb's own hand. (The Chesterfield sofa pictured comes all the way from the set of Hot Tub Time Machine 2)

We wanted to stay in a real New Orleans neighbourhood and the Bywater location was perfect for our needs. Some people have described the neighbourhood as 'hipster' but to me that just meant a wide offering of numerous great bars, cafes, vintage shops, and restaurants all within walking distance of the home and populated by friendly and interesting locals.

It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to walk to the French Quarter through Bywater and Marginy, a stunning a literally colourful neighbourhood. It was advised generally that quieter parts of the city are best navigated by taxi at night so for the late night journey home we opted to take an Uber however i feel sure that walking home would have been quite safe. If you are looking to be right in the centre of town as soon as you step out of the front door then this property might not be for you. If you want a real New Orleans local experience you wont go far wrong with this one.

Robb was a great host and very helpful throughout the trip. He provided us with a list of his favourite places in the city. I cannot recommend local venue Bacchanal highly enough. Just Go.
