I spent a wonderful month at Bob's house. The room was lovely and had plenty of light. The neighbourhood turned out to be my favorite in the whole city: it's fairly quiet and mostly residential but it also has some really great restaurants, cafés, art galleries, concerts, etc. that you can walk to from the house. I used the bike that was lent to me a lot and it seemed like the perfect way to explore the rest of the city. The very convenient 88 bus also stops just across the street. Last but not least, Bob and his family were the most kind and laid-back people you can imagine. They gave me plenty of advice on where to go and what to do and made me feel very comfortable in their home. I would love to stay there again next time I go to New Orleans.
