Christian‘s place is a great center for a New Orleans visit, minutes from the street car, nearby were 24 hour drugstore, bar, and convenience store that included excellent fried chicken. The balcony was great for watching the world go by, the decor was beautiful and the experience of staying in a grand old New Orleans home was great. Don’t miss the view from the top of the Pontchartrain Hotel, just down St. Charles. A good exercise walk will take you down to the heart of Magazine Street, try different ways to get back up to St. Charles to see lovely Garden District homes.
