Robert is a great host with a great house! He really opens up his home to guests and makes you feel welcome-- he even invited us along on a walk when we arrived (to walk the sweet dogs) and gave us a little mini tour of the area, which is basically a part of or on the edge of the French Quarter. Restaurants and live music are steps away. The Rose Room is lovely and the house also has a nicely ornamented backyard to hang out in too. Although I barely spent time there, the living room rocks-- books on art and New Orleans and a radio with local WWOZ playing regularly. Recommended for sure!
