I loved my stay at the Parks-Bowman Mansion. The house was delightful, and the Garden District is one of the most charming neighborhoods in all of New Orleans. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, the location was superb and Adrienne was a warm and welcoming host. Her home is a jewel, from the multiple balconies to the overgrown fig tree to the art adorning virtually every surface. And location-wise, some of the most interesting sections of Magazine Street are a short walk away, while Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 and the Commander's Palace are literally around the corner. You're also a short cab ride away from everything else (I was based here while hanging out everywhere from the Treme to the Quarter to Mid-City to the Marigny, and never felt constrained). Highly recommended.
