We really enjoyed staying at Gabrielle's place and did miss meeting her in person. Gabrielle's brother, Walker, was the perfect host and rose above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home. There are at least 6 bicycles to choose from in the back yard - the best way to get around the city! The Bywater neighborhood is an up and coming section of the city, with many interesting artsy things happening, as well as some great places to eat. We would definitely consider re-renting Gabrielle's place when we return to Nola.
