I had the trip of a lifetime at Huckabuck Village with Liberty and Pops! They are the most warm and open people who genuinely enjoy and invest in the people around them. I felt honored and privileged to be included in some of their local neighborhood gatherings and looked forward to chatting over breakfast each morning.

Both Liberty and Pops are living encyclopedias on the Treme and the hidden gems of New Orleans. The house is located in the historic Treme neighborhood (not to be missed!) and is an easy walk to the more touristy French Quarter. Other downtown and midtown neighborhoods aren't far away and I had a straight shot uptown to the park as well.

Huckabuck Village itself is a treasure of the Treme, with stories all her own. High ceilings, beautiful 'bones' and a back garden to die for. Liberty is an art connoisseur and the house is blanketed with funky relics and work from local artisans. Jazz music is also a constant fixture; Liberty has amazing musical tastes and will happily recommend local gigs worth catching! My room was also lovely, with a super comfy bed and all the creature comforts accounted for: water, towels, blankets, and even maps and magazines of the area. I was surprised that on one of the coldest days (mid 20s-low 30s) of the year, my room was toasty warm. The house clearly breathes well, despite its age.

Ultimately, you really can't afford to miss Huckabuck Village and I look forward to my next stay with Liberty and Pops.
