Bea’s place was incredibly comfortable. Her place is in Aligiers Point, a much more mellow area across the Mississippi. If you’re looking for a place that’s not in the middle of everything but only a quick (5 minute) ferry then this is the place for you.
The apartment has a full kitchen, living room, huge ceilings, and is right across from the levee where you can walk, bike or run. I met a lot of locals at the Old Pointe bar that is three blocks down the road. Everyone in NOLA are noticeably friendlier than where I’m from. My favorite cafe to get coffee was two blocks down the road called Congregation coffee or One Stone Coffee. Old Stone also has very tasty food. I would absolutely stay at Bea’s again.
