this is such a wonderful way of checking off 'staying in a mansion' off your bucket list! My teenaged daughter and I took full advantage of the location and spent many mornings wandering the Garden District by foot, shopping on Magazine Street, and taking the St. Charles streetcar to the French Quarter. I highly recommend Candy & John's place, not only for its location but for all the amenities, charm and Candy & John's almost immediate replies to my questions!
