What a perfect getaway!
I'm not a huge New Orleans expert, but I knew I wanted something close enough to enjoy the French Quarter without driving, but far enough we'd be able to sleep at night. The cottage was perfect. It's about a 3 minute walk to the edge of the French Quarter - just far enough to enjoy all the frills of being in the middle of it all...but also close enough to walk home for a mid-afternoon nap and quiet enough to sleep after a late night!
Beth was the perfect host -- not only did she have a binder ready for us in the cottage with restaurant suggestions and all the details you could need, but she took us on a tour of the beautiful "big house" as well -- taking the time to share the details and make us feel like members of the family!
The cottage itself is absolutely perfect for two. The bed is comfortable, the details make it feel like home as soon as you walk in. Having a kitchenette and a bathroom, as well as your own personal entrance makes it feel like home from the moment you walk in. The gardens outside provide the perfect spot for a quiet cup of coffee before taking on the day again!
We just left this morning and already can't wait to return!
One note -- park outside on the street long enough to unpack (2 hour parking on the street) and then park your car around the corner in the lot. We didn't need it once the whole time we were there! :)
