This house turned out to be a perfect location for our visit to NOLA in December. It is spacious and attractive and the decorations are a wonderful collection of very interesting art and mementos reflecting a lifetime of interesting experiences, and these items make the house all the more comfortable and appealing. The location is great. It is easy to reach other parts of NOLA, including the world class sculpture garden at the Museum of Art not far away in City Park. For drivers who are not familiar with the city, the easy trip down Esplanade to the French Quarter is helpful. None of us happened to use the bus but one of us actually walked the distance. We enjoyed several of the restaurants in the immediate area and the coffee shop. In addition to the two groceries close by, there is a somewhat larger Whole Foods a quick drive away on Broad. Shelley was the best in her availability to make our stay comfortable and we appreciated her hospitality. The neighborhood cat (outdoors) was repeatedly welcoming too. The big front porch was very comfortable for relaxing and watching the world go by on the warmer days. And for those interested in the Jazz Festival, this address is only a couple of blocks from the Fairgrounds site.
