My husband and I loved this cottage and the neighborhood in the Garden District. It's an authentic New Orleans "shotgun" cottage that is surprisingly roomy inside. It's really a duplex, and the owners live on one side (which is entirely separate) and are very accessibly and friendly. They have been fixing it up, so the exterior is actually sweeter than this picture shows, and it's nicely decorated and comfortable. It's very clean and well stocked with supplies you may need for your stay. The location was ideal for us: a very short walk to Magazine Street, which is an awesome stretch of cool restaurants, cafes and shops. We borrowed the owners' bikes and road around Audubon Park and the neighborhoods of Uptown, and a little bit along the river levee. The neighborhood seems family friendly, safe and is quiet at night. The owners have also provided a great notebook with maps and suggestions for places to eat and things to do. All in all, it surpassed our hopes and expectations.
