The Parks-Bowman mansion is incredible. Walking distance to the streetcar pickup/drop off point or about a $10 Uber ride to the French Quarter. It’s right around the corner from Lafayette Cemetery and surrounded by so many other gigantic and fabulous historic mansions. The room was spacious, and private. The whole home is filled with eclectic art and adds to the charm. The third floor balcony is a wonderful place for drinks and the front patio is perfect for coffee and beignets as the neighbors stroll by waving good morning.
Adrienne and Bill are wonderful hosts, they provided recommendations on restaurants, were always interested in hearing about what the day’s adventures had brought us, and are genuinely fascinating people to chat with.
We enjoyed our stay immensely and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
