Bob was a very conscientious host, and his apartment is beautiful and well-furnished. I stayed with him for 6 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Bob's dog Spot is very friendly and occasionally barks, but is mostly very quiet. This apartment is very clean, quiet, and safe. It's a short walk to the convention center, the french quarter, and the garden district. (Also, only ~2 blocks from the WWII museum.) I'd gladly stay with Bob again on my next visit!
