Creole Elegance is a charming cottage on Esplanade Ave in New Orleans. It is removed from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter in the Treme neighborhood, but it is close enough to walk or to catch the 91 Jackson-Esplanade bus (the stop is steps away from the cottage) and get to the French Quarter, Marigny (Frenchmen St), the Bywater, or City Park.

The grounds and area are beautiful and well maintained, and there is a museum next door to the cottage and one just down the street. There are several restaurants and small grocery stores near by to grab a bite to eat.

Beverly clearly communicated how the cottage worked and was extremely accommodating. Everything we needed for our stay was on hand, including towels, sheets, cookware, plates, even wine glasses and a wine tool. When you stay at Creole Elegance, you feel like a local and can experience New Orleans in a way that no hotel can offer.
