Such a nice little place! Far enough off the beaten path to give you a break from the city, but close enough to the St. Charles streetcar that you can get back to all the excitement quickly and easily. The room was beautiful and had all the basic amenities to get you through a short stay.
I will say: while the neighborhood may have been less quaint than the pictures make it appear, it was nowhere near as sketchy as other reviewers suggested. We did not feel more uncomfortable walking around here in the evening than we did anywhere else in New Orleans. The streets are well-lit and the strangers are friendly.
Within close walking distance of two decent sized cemeteries — one was closed for repair when we went, but the other was open! Check out Still Perkin’ for coffee and pastries and browse the Garden District Book Shop. Twenty minute walk to Magazine Street for shopping and dinner... Joey K’s, Anatolia. I prefer the Magazine St. Ruby Slipper Cafe to the one on Canal for the smaller crowds.
All in all, a beautiful area and I would definitely recommend!
