We highly recommend this house - it is a must see! From the moment we contacted Dawn-Marie, everything evolved with such ease. Renting a house can be close to choosing designer clothes sometimes. What will this apparel do for me? Will it bring out my best features and disguise the worst? Will I ever tire of it? Will it impress my friends? In the case of Dawn- Marie's historic house, we are talking about the highest couture. Stepping into the large hallway, with its glorious gilded mirror, your voice sounds good as it reverberates upon the walls. The amount of space in this house instantly hits you, together with its cultivated proportions. There is an impressive mix of both comfort and style in every room. It is hard to choose a favourite space, there's enough variety to make this choice a lengthy quest. A well-equipped kitchen at the back of the house could be the setting of a casual and romantic dinner should the dining room be declined. Comfy sofas in an adjoining sitting room are equally inviting to the chaise longues of the front room. The whole house could be (and surely has been) the setting of a super-impressive party. And after the madness of the day has died down, stepping up onto the high four-poster bed and slipping between the loveliest sheets with the lights of the stately neighbourhood beyond is simply magical. The furnishings hint at New Orleans' unique mix of both the elegant and the debauched. Bookshelves boast intriguing editions whilst an ebony madame presides in one particular nook. The house in in an old area of New Orleans, and full of atmosphere, the city centre only a short distance away. It's a short stroll for brunch at Surrey's or to the shopping mecca of Magazine Street and the Garden District beyond. In every way, this house reflects the owner, who is smart, stylish, and instantly adorable.
