The perfect location to enjoy New Orleans as first-time or repeat visitors.
Sure, the French Quarter needs to be seen, but don't waste your time actually sleeping there!
Magazine St is awesome, and imminently walkable. Walk 10 minutes up to St Charles for the Streetcar (download the transit app and buy day passes on your phone / track the location of the cars to avoid long waits).
Also get your beignets while you wait for the streetcar on St Charles at New Orleans Coffee & Beignet. WAY better than Cafe Du Monde in our opinion. Made fresh to order.
Walk or short drive to a gorgeous Whole Foods, many boutiques, coffee shops (French Truck!), local artisans, gift shops, Poet Moto... Magazine St has endless options.
Long story short - you can't beat the location. Easy parking, easy walking, easy access to transit, quiet and safe in the evening.
The house itself further adds to your NOLA experience. Traditional shotgun layout. Sure, you walk through a bedroom to get to the spacious kitchen and bath, but that's part of the charm. You'll be dead asleep from all your walking and eating anyhow.
The ceilings must be 11 feet high - incredibly spacious, impeccably clean and well maintained. Tastefully decorated, comfortable seating, tons of prep space in the kitchen.
We were pleased to find some tasteful Christmas decorations on the exterior of the house and a small tree inside (NOLA wins Christmas lights - cruise St Charles for some amazing displays).
