The Parks-Bowman Mansion was the perfect place for our short stay in New Orleans. The neighborhood is lovely and located blocks away from Lafayette Cemetery (a must-visit, take the tour to find out the fascinating local burial practices) and great diners, pubs, and shops. Adrienne had excellent recommendations, which helped us use our time wisely. As a bibliophile and record collector, the room was great. Nice to wake up among old tomes and vinyl. We typically get a place to ourselves, but this was a pleasant stay with great hosts.
