Whenever we visit New Orleans, the Garden District near Magazine Street is our favorite place to spend a few nights. On this trip we stayed in a second floor condo on the busy corner of St. Mary and Camp Streets. It is convenient to great restaurants, the St Charles Avenue cable car into the French Quarter, and the open-top City Sightseeing Bus Tour that runs along Magazine. The apartment is quiet, but out on the balcony you can see and hear the busy street life below. It is a perfect place to start the morning with coffee or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine.Almost directly beneath us was the lively Half Moon Bar & Grill, from which we got excellent take-out pizza. Our apartment, however, was a peaceful place . The unit itself is beautifully vintage with all the important modern touches. It was also impeccably clean and freshly decorated.
