The perfect way to experience New Orleans in all of its glory. The condo is amazing and we did not want for any amenity. It looks like it was pulled from the pages of a magazine. ...and the balcony. Approximately five blocks to St. Charles and the street car line that brings you into downtown and the French Quarter or to the upper garden district with Audobon Park, Audobon Zoo, amazing restaruants and architecture. The condo is located on magazine across from Sophie Wright Park (a lovely green space) and steps from a wide variety of restraurants (seafood, Vietnamese, mexican, burgers, etc.) , coffee shops (PJ's and Starbucks), and eclectic stores ranging from furniture to costumes and everything in between. It is also not a far walk to a food market should you forget something or need a bottle of wine while you sit on the balcony. We stayed the weekend before Mardi Gras and were steps away from Bacchus, Toth, Rex, Tucks, Zulu, and all the fun. We will defintely go back and may just make it our Mardi Gras tradition. Thanks David - for your hospitality...
