Amanda's home is absolutely beautiful; each room is decorated thoughtfully and elegantly (and her kitchen is especially breathtaking with red floral accents-- the photos don't do it justice). The beds are unbelievably soft and comfortable; every morning my friend and I started the day by telling each other that we needed to ask Amanda where she got her mattresses. The location is perfect; twenty minutes to FQ by streetcar, less than ten by car, but I enjoyed taking the leisurely half-hour walk down Canal street on most days. The neighborhood itself is cute with tons of delicious food within two blocks of the house and friendly neighbors. I'd recommend Amanda's place to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of New Orleans while leaving the party back on Bourbon street.
