Gwen's house is beautiful, historic and comfortable & facinating, as is she! The house is decorated with memorabilia and artwork that fill it with New Orleans culture and flavor. (I want to clarify that the two BNB rooms has its own, private bath.)
It is only a 9 minute walk to Lil Dizzie's cafe, a single block from the bus stop that connects to Canal Street. The street at the end of the block, Philip, runs past Louie Armstrong Park and directly into the French Quarter. (Be aware that that corner, and the corner of Philip with Bourbon St do not have street signs.) It is a fun and interesting walk in the daytime, but Gwen suggests using Uber (or such) after dark.
I stayed for 6 days and every morning had my coffee & fruit (gratis) with fascinating stories and conversation with Gwen, an amazing woman who has witnessed the many changes, and much of the inside of the arts (esp. Jazz) scene of New Orleans.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
