This was the perfect way to experience New Orleans. We chose Dana's place because of the proximity to Frenchmen Street. We were delighted to find that it is close to so much more! It's a very short walk to the French Quarter but just far enough that it's still on a quiet street.
It's also close to the hip Bywater neighborhood and the St. Claude corridor which is up and coming with local eateries and boutiques. You can also jump on the streetcar on St. Claude and take that all the way to Central City for just $1.25.
Esplanade Ave which is just a block away will bring you all the way from the Crescent Park on the Mississipi River, which is great for a jog, to the expansive City Park which is a great destination for a bike ride.
The property was also amazing. The beautiful historic house has been very recently renovated with new hardwood floors and bathroom finishes that feel like an upscale hotel. The suite itself was created specifically for guests and has a private entrance. There are a coffee maker and a mini fridge which both came in handy.
Check in and check out were a breeze and Dana the host was never more than a quick message away, not that we ever needed anything. We completely fell in love with New Orleans on this trip and would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit.
