Kathleen's cottage was the perfect location for our very first visit to New Orleans. She provided two bikes which we used every day despite the record hot temperatures. Very bike friendly area. Great way to explore the French Quarter. Cake cafe is right across the street and has very good breakfast. Ride to the end of Chartres street and try courtyard dining and music at Bacchanal Wine. After a day of exploring, Kathleen's cottage with the a/c and high ceiling fans was a cool respite for relaxing. The neighborhood is so close to clubs, bars and restaurants but so nice to escape to the quiet of an eclectic residential area. Staying here was like living like a local. If that's the experience you want then I highly recommend Kathleen's cottage.
