My wife and I just spent an absolutely magic month at Kathleen's place. Surrounded by local cafes and restaurants, there was always somewhere to go for breakfast, brunch or whatever. We were within easy safe walking distance of Frenchmans Street and the Riverside Streetcar from which you can get anywhere, Mid City cemeteries, bayou, City Park, Garden district etc. Also easy walking to the French Market and of course, the whole of the French Quarter with it's bars, art galleries, antiques, music and food. We took the bikes on the ferry to Algiers Point and rode along the levee, New Orleans is a great place to cycle around, we took a bus to the lake and we heard different music every single day, mostly two or three times a day.
Kathleen is lovely and friendly and her house felt the same. Only one small complaint, there was no kettle so we had to boil water in a saucepan to make tea. A little uncivilised if you are British, hah!hah! but we coped..!
Thanks Kappa, you said we would love it and we did. I am sure we will be back.
