This was my first visit to New Orleans and I was looking for a "authentic" experience. I knew I wanted to stay in a neighborhood, not in a downtown high-rise apartment or hotel, and I wanted a central location that would make walking to most places easy. This was all those things. Located in bit of an industrial block of a neighborhood and tucked away inside a multi-use building that, like life and art, is a little messy. The space itself was decorated to perfection and had a lovely soul-pleasing aesthetic and was very private. The grocery is located right behind the space so it was easy to pop over when we needed something. For breakfast we walked to Cake Cafe and Satsuma. There was also a small coffee shop on the block we never made it to. There were several restaurants/bars in a 2 block radius where we finished off our nights. I would recommend checking out Silk Road, Lost Love Lounge, Mimi's, Bao & Noodle. If you are looking for craft breweries check out Parleaux Beer Lab in the Bywater (has changing food vendors), Breaux Carre off Frenchmen Street (no food), Nola Brewing Tap Room/McClure's BBQ in the Irish Channel (drive to or take a uber). This location is very central and we walked all over through all the lovely neighborhoods and got to see so much from the Bywater, to Frenchman Street, to the French Quarter (all the way to the end!). We especially enjoyed strolling down Royal Street; so many amazing shops and galleries. Definitely walk through the 1850 house if you get a change to, It's near the cathedral and Cafe du Monde so no excuses!
