Bob's home is a really cool place to stay. The room and private bathroom are up a spiral staircase, and it's a little like living in a treehouse. Plenty of interesting and unique art in the room and around the house. Everything went well and Bob and his family were happy to chat and make recommendations. Their family-owned bakery next door is very convenient for a tasty breakfast before riding the bus to the French Quarter (about 20 min). Use WDSU Transit Tracker app to track buses and streetcars because some times they're late. Bob's neighborhood has many restaurants. Favorite for BBQ was The Joint. There's also many food vendors in St. Roch Market across from the food co-op.
