The River House is a fine example of southern hospitality and lush comfort. As New Orleans as you can get, while mixing the feels of the garden district opulence with French Quarter liveliness. The apartment and common areas are well furnished and interesting to visitors from afar. I greatly enjoyed perusing the library of older edition books focusing on classic Southern authors and architecture. The huge balcony is absolutely to die for and I spent most of my time reading and enjoying the weather. The house is centrally located to bars and restaurants, and felt very safe even walking home from the French quarter late at night. We feel the need to say that the owners unit is behind the main house and had two large dogs that barked loudly and constantly at guests when you went outside to enjoy the pool and gardens out back. That said, everything else was fantastic.
