I stayed at Monica's Lavender House property for a month while I working at the local hospital for a residency rotation. She was very thoughtful, the house was extremely clean, and made me feel like home. The house is just off a main road where you can catch the Streetcar, a one or two minute drive to some options for food and the grocery store. An easy 3-4 block walk, through a beautiful safe neighborhood to get to City Park. City Park itself is one of my favorite parks that I've been to... so I walked through the neighborhood to go run at the park a few times a week. Great sculpture garden, art museum, and kayak rentals over there if you are interested... or just sit under the huge trees and take in the beautiful landscape. I enjoyed my stay and would not think twice about staying here again if I return to New Orleans. Thanks Monica!!
