A group of 8 of us gathered from all over the country to celebrate my 40th birthday in New Orleans, and our trip simply could not would not have been as magical as it was without this stunning, gracious house as our backdrop and the extremely likable Franz as our host.
The neighborhood is perfectly situated within walking distance to Frenchmen St and some delicious local eateries (do NOT miss St Roch Market) and just enough removed from the super touristy French Quarter to impart a great mellow vibe and that "real neighborhood" charm and authenticity.
I'm an interior designer and let me tell you I was SO pleased with the tasteful decor and style of this house. I mean it's hard to go wrong with 12' ceilings, balconies courtyards and verandas, a claw foot tub, and beautiful vintage (non-working) fireplaces in nearly every room. The beds were ultra-comfortable, right down to the elegant linens.
Franz was such an easy going, warm, and communicative host, and he gave us some great Nola tips.
Our stay in this stately home was nothing short of perfect.
