Gabrielle's place had a real New Orleans vibe - nic nacs on the walls, cats running around in the yard, old-timey vintage apartment. She provided a comprehensive list of local attractions, a few of which we checked out, and that was well worth it.
The only thing that we balked at during our stay was the pile of dirty towels left by the bathroom, leaving no clean ones for us. Not wanting to do laundry during our vacation, we ran out and grabbed clean towels. That was kind of a drag. Other than that, everything was great and I would recommend!
