This was our first AirBnB experience and we couldn't have wished for better hosts than Karen & Kelly at Casa Pelican. We arrived on New Years Day and were welcomed with glasses of champagne & orange juice! - it can't get better than that! It's a wonderful old fashioned American home full of character, beautiful period furniture and decor. The room was lovely and a highlight was the private balcony - a lovely space to sit and unwind. The bed was simply the most comfortable we have ever slept in. Each morning we had a breakfast that was out of this world! Fantastic home cooked food by Karen who is a fabulous chef. Our hosts joined us for the meal and for us that made our stay extra special, its lovely to have good conversation over the first meal of the day. The neighbourhood is quiet, charming and we enjoyed walking the streets past all the lovely houses. There are a few bars all within an easy stroll, we particularly enjoyed the English pub The Crown & Anchor , being English ourselves, the Dr Who Tardis doorway looked amazing! The Dry Dock nearby also served good beer & excellent food. The foot ferry is just at the bottom of the road and was easy to use when going over the Mississippi to explore New Orleans. Overall Casa Pelican is the ideal place to stay if you love your food, home comforts and want to stay away from the crazy sights of the French Quarter. We want to thank our host for their excellent Southern Hospitality, nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely visit again.
