I didn't get to meet Gabrielle but her brothers were super. Good times were had by all. The bikes were great! but we actually cabbed it quite a bit to coordinate with our larger group. The place itself is as described, super cute, beds are comfy, things work, etc.

Go to new park at the bottom of the street! It's superior to the French Quarter river park by far. Also hangout in the Bywater. I didn't see all of New Orleans but it was my favorite neighborhood by far.
