The Parks-Bowman mansion in the Garden District is a great place to stay if you're going to be in New Orleans for a few days. The Garden District is away from the craziness of Bourbon Street, but it's easily accessible via public transportation. The mansion itself has a rich history and is fascinating to walk around in-- there are so many things to look at. It's a very unique place. The amenities are standard, and there is plenty of privacy. My only warning would be that if you are uncomfortable around dogs, you may want to stay elsewhere-- Adrienne has two large dogs who do creep around! I very much enjoyed my stay at the mansion.
