This was our second year in a row staying with Robert and Joanne. It is our first choice whenever we travel to NOLA. As always, the house is great, it has a wonderful back yard--other than the hordes of dangerous killer caterpillars ;) and a great location. We also met some lovely british people this year who were also staying with Joanne and Robert and we had a few adventures together. Look, you either get this style of travel or you don't. if you want an experience which more closely approximates living in NOLA, pick a place like this.
