I had a great stay. Last minute was able to get a room near the convention center. Just a 5 minute walk. The mansion is a fun historic place to stay. Jim spent alot of time telling me all about the amazing work he did to restore this to a charming bnb. He and Lauren were great hosts and staying here was more of an adventure than the same old hotel experience. Very clean and super comfy bed. This would be a great place for a big party to rent the whole house. Hot tub, very comfortable living room and full kitchen. Ample parking. Don't worry about being near the bridge/freeway. It is really quiet. Probably the foot thick French quarter brick walls! Thanks again Jim and Lauren!!
