This house is in a beautiful area of New Orleans! Only two blocks from the trendiest part of Magazine St. where we had delicious po-boys at Tracey's. We found the Red Room to be very comfortable, not too small as I had read in a previous review. It was extremely hot the first night but Adrienne discovered our vent was closed, which she opened and brought us a fan the next day so the rest of the stay was comfortable but not super cool. It would have been nice to have a little less clutter and a little better light for putting on make-up etc. While it was fun to discover them in the rest of the house, there were so many knick-knacks in the bedroom and especially bathroom it was hard to find a place to put our things.
Use the pool, it's lovely and relaxing...with a cup of coffee early in the morning or a cocktail in the afternoon. Bill and Adrienne were super hosts and interesting to talk to. The dogs are friendly and happy without being pesky. They were nice to come "home" to. The street car was under construction so we had to take a cab to the French Quarter. It's around $14.00 one way plus a tip. We had a car but didn't want to deal with parking nor worry about how much we'd had to drink so chose not to drive. Over all I would recommend The Parks-Bowman Mansion.
