My wife and I met in New Orleans 25 years ago and always come back every few years for our anniversary. This time we brought the kids so we didn't want the typical Bourbon Street nightlife. I had never been to the Garden District before staying here and we are so happy we did. Staying in a place like this in this neighborhood finally made me see why people want to live in NOLA.
We were completely surprised by the restaurant selection down the road off Freret St. and we sampled three to four of the restaurants every night for three nights straight.
The home is located on the top floor of a shotgun style home with three other residents. I was a little apprehensive at first being so close, more for them with my loud kids then for us, but they were all so inviting and kind. In the morning, my wife and I would drink coffee on the front porch listening to Jazz music softly playing from the radio from the downstairs neighbor.
Inside the unit is great with nice furnishings (my kids loved the massive beanbag chair) and everything was so clean. The kitchen was nice but beware if your really short as the counters are a little higher than you may be used to.
There is TV in the rooms with wifi and DVD players. The host, Robert, kept in contact and was available for any questions we had. He keeps a list of restaurants nearby with recommendations that is pretty spot on. We added our own recommendations for dishes from the list as well.
Very happy with our stay and will definitely be coming back.
