We’ve been to New Orleans a few times before but staying in the Irish Channel for the first time made this trip different. The neighborhood is safe and full of unique old architecture. The house is a few blocks from Magazine Street with places to eat and fun shops worthy of a day’s exploring. We stayed during an arctic blast and the temp outside got down to 25. It was a little chilly inside that night but after the temp got back into the 30’s the heating kept up and we were more comfortable. The house is very clean and both beds were comfortable. The bathroom especially is quite nice. The historic home is decorated in a quirky fun way and the kitchen is well stocked. Shannon had a binder full of suggestions and gave us some great tips before we even arrived. We found plenty of fun things to do despite the unusually cold weather and had a grand vacation.
