Mimsie's carriage house was a nice place to have as our home base for the 6 days we spent in New Orleans. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on magazine street as well as the street car on Charles. We enjoy walking so we walked daily to the French Quarter which is about 2-3 miles away. The street car will take you there for $1.25 or about a $10 cab ride. The house had the basic furnishings as well as some niceties like a Roku player. Neighbors were all friendly and said hello while we walked around. Some of the locals advised us to be careful walking through parts of the neighborhood at night as some areas can be worse than others; however we had no problems to speak of. The house was as it appears in the photos; good value & utilitarian vs luxurious and expensive.
