If you're looking for character and a beautiful neighborhood feel, this is your place. It's an old NOLA mansion with a period feel. So if you want led and granite with bamboo floors, this is not the place. But if you live quirky and music and art and great conversation, then this is your place! We had a wonderful time chatting with our hosts, who have cool stories from living fascinating lives. We loved being able to walk around and look at all the gorgeous garden district homes. There is lots to do within walking distance and the busy parts (French Quarter et al) are a short ride or a pleasant walk if the weather is cool enough.
