Even though my family and I have been coming to New Orleans for decades, and my daughter lived here for several years, we always stayed near the Quarter or the Marigny. However, this time with two kids under two we thought it might be good to try the lower garden/garden district. The location of this home is perfect because it is walking distance to many restaurants, cafes and coffee shops but it was still walking distance to the Warehouse District and the Quarter. This home was quiet and away from the fray but close enough if you wanted to be in it! Shawn, our host, was very responsive, the place was really clean, and the backyard was beautiful - again with the two small children it was great to have the outdoor space as well. Highly recommend Surrey’s just around the block for breakfast, Yellow Truck and Mojo had good coffee but Mojos opens earlier, and for lunch Ed’s had solid food - try the Mirlitons if you have never had one. New Orleans has such a great food scene but new to it is Compere Lapin, Top Chef runner up Nina Compton’s place was delicious.. Highly recommend this area and this place!
