This beautiful St. Charles Mansion nearing Carrollton is chalked with character. Its timeless elegance provides a sweet NOLA base. Its grand porch is the place to be especially at night when it cools down (feels like its just you the oaks, the occasional street car and whatever spirits are out). Its incredible neighborhood features the city's grandest 1880s to 1920s homes. Its steps away from Audubon Park. Where Saturdays under a canopy of live oaks trees you might be met with a brass band... Walking distance from some if the city's best dining such as James Beard Medalist Brigsen's and longtime creole Italian staple Vincent's (if your ambitious there's cash only Mosca's on the W Bank). About 30 min walk from the Uptown Galitore's, Clancy's. Around 35 min way is Upperline. Owner Jo Ann's Clevenger shares a beautiful dining room known for its duck. Down St. Charles stands the stately dreamy Milton H. Latter Memorial Library. Housed in a donated Mansion its the perfect place to read the paper. Live music can be found nearby at Maple Leaf Bar. The saloon is home to staples like Grammy receiving George Porter Jr and Rebirth Brass Band. Zydeco can be found Thursdays at Rock n Bowl and Sundays at Tipitinas. Your every need can be met on nearby Oak or Magazine streets. Offering haircuts from a ww2 veteran, seersucker pants from Pearlis and a bag of groceries (Langensteins on Arrabella or Whole Foods). I have stayed here while visiting family/ friends and catching up with my second hometown. Jaye is great. She is a class act. This place is ideal if your visiting home, a tourist and or college related or business traveler. So turn your radio dial to 90.7 (WWOZ) get your suitcase in hand and start "Walkin to New Orleans" .This is the place to be.
