We love St. Joan!
My sisters and I were raised in an old east coast Victorian and currently all live in older homes, which is why we wanted to stay in a treasure such as this.
A personal warm welcoming from our host, coffee & cream for the morning, vintage radio station set to the local best and things to do and NOLA inspired sounds (which we left on all day/night), all set in a quaint ‘shot-gun’ style cottage (living room - dining room - kitchen - bath - bed 1 - bed 2).
Bacchanal Wine is around the corner and worth visiting for fine wine and great cheese - plus a fantastic live band is usually playing.
We ate at The Joint (delicious BBQ), had beers outside at Pearleaux Beer Lab, Swam in the pool/hot tub at The Country Club on Louisa St (don’t miss the Drag brunch), we also had a lovely and elegant brunch at Brennan’s, and an amazing dinner at Paladar 511.
St Joan is close to the edge of the ‘curve’ in the Bywater. Sure you hear the train, but it’s just one of those cool sounds that you may not get to hear everyday - it seldom came thru and we were not disturbed by it all at, and found it enjoyable.
We made sure we were quiet and respectful neighbors to the full time home owners in the neighborhood.
AT HOME is how we felt on our stay - thank you for hosting us!
