We returned a week ago from a fabulous ten day stay at Kristen & Patrick's house. The house is beautiful: stylishly decorated, very comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Kristen had left plenty of leaflets and magazines about New Orleans - places to visit, best eateries, jazz clubs, etc - and as this was our first visit to New Orleans, we were spoilt for choice. We arrived quite late in the evening and Kristen had kindly left provisions so we didn't have to worry about shopping right away. The house is in a really convenient location: just a few minutes walk from 'The Fresh Market' supermarket (which is fantastic and we found an excuse to go most days!) and just a couple of blocks from Charles Street, where we picked up the streetcar to ride into town. It was also an easy 20 minute walk through the Garden District to Magazine Street - definitely worth doing to see all the beautiful homes. The place really felt like home from home and we would definitely recommend it. A big thank you to Kristen & Patrick and we can't wait to be back in your beautiful city!
