I will try to make this short however difficult, because this experience was amazing despite being there at a weird time due to the Covid -19. While we were there, the city went into phase 2 of opening the city, on our last day there. For safety reasons, some adjustments needed to be made, like wearing a mask outside of the suite. But the host (super host) was so gracious and welcoming while keeping safety in mind. Her and her home are amazing. Beaming with the spirit, wisdom and love of the Crescent city🌙, the mansion is full of art her and her husband have collected throughout their years together. Their library room is chock full of amazing reads, movies, and music. Super comfy bed, cable tv, cool stone shower and towels, shampoo, soap etc provided. The porch off of the library room, is so handy and perfect for having a cup of coffee, listening to brass being played far in the distant 🎷and watching the squirrels and crows play and eat figs from branches and run in the big ancient tree while catching the breeze and the sounds of the fountain ⛲️ below and dosing off on the chaise in the evening. (My husband and I did several times, to the lulling sound of wind chimes) Her dog, Boggs is so sweet, and takes his job of greeting and escorting guests around the house and to their suite, very serious. Instant best friend. This historic mansion is perfectly located in the garden district right by the trolley to go wherever you want to go, as well as right by Magazine street with popular restaurants, and shops. Also steps away from Lafayette cemetery#1 and the famous Commanders Palace restaurant. I could do a whole vaca staying close to the house and just wander around the neighborhood, and swimming in the pool in the evening. The pool area is so plush with vines, moss and greenery, private and sparkling with light at night. Just a New Orleans gem! I could go on forever but let’s just say that I cannot wait to go back and stay there again. If you love history, art, culture, cute dogs, kind people, and the smell of old books (my heart be still) and really want to immerse yourself in the spirit and magic of The Crescent City 🌙 this is the place for you. Be sure to read the papers on the research and history of the home, that she has placed in the rooms. Very interesting. The neighborhood is so picturesque and quiet yet you can hop right on old trolley 🚋 and be in the French Quarter in mins for the hustle n bustle and all that Jazz 🎺 and beignets. (Download the transit app for ease. Tip: The older green trolleys take you in and out of garden district towards Lee circle and Canal street) and the red trolleys are the ones that move around The Quarter etc. So first green 🚃, then red.😉) The trolley system is proof that the old ways are best sometimes. I wish every city had this public transport system. Adrienne, her home, and The Big Easy has casted it’s voodoo magic on me and I’m hooked for life. I just got home yet I already have started planning my next trip back to the Parks-Bowman Mansion. 🛎 🗝 I highly recommend this AirBnB. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
