The Okra Inn was a great place for us to spend two nights in New Orleans. So close to the Canal Street trolley, but we did not hear any noise from Canal Street. This location is way up Canal from the French Quarter, so not a lot of late night revelry happening here. Although there are plenty of places within walking distance to eat, drink, and be merry.
This guest house makes a perfect place to eat any leftovers, with ample kitchen items and comfortable dining room table. The decor in the Okra is eclectic, so make sure you take the time to look at the local art items all around. Very nicely done with plenty to enjoy, but doesn’t feel cluttered. We enjoyed it.
Our Balcony Room was nice and spacious, and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine outside on the balcony in early December! There were two full baths upstairs with our room that we shared with other guests. We never heard anyone else, and it felt as if we had the bathrooms to ourselves.
When we booked this place, we wondered a bit about how nice it would be, since it seemed like a pretty good price. We were pleasantly surprised with the neighborhood, the Inn, and Lindsay, of course. She is very hospitable, and unfortunately, she had to deal with an iPad we left behind. 😔. She was great about everything. The last thing I feel I have to mention is that we did not have very good WiFi in our bedroom. Lindsay says that they try to place the extenders appropriately, and it hasn’t been an issue for recent guests. And honestly, since reception is so good downstairs in the living areas, I would still be willing to stay here again. Do Nit hesitate to stay here!
