This place was exactly as advertised. A really peaceful retreat from the crazy french quarter. It's a lovely old period cottage that is well cared for and has many historical architectural features. It was also great to be able to walk (medium to strong walkers) to the french quarter several times a day and see many different buildings and interesting people. We wouldn't have otherwise had this great experience, had we stayed right in the quarter. The place was well equipped for our needs. I especially liked the big soft bath towels. Nice touch. There are a number of interesting small cafes and bars within a block or so from the house, as well as others between the house and the quarter. We especially liked the Silk Road Bar / Cafe near the house. Great food and great cocktails. Street parking was typically available nearby or right in front of the house. Lastly, as plant people, we loved sitting on the porch, drinking coffee and chatting. The host James responded quickly to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property for a couple or just two friends visiting the French Quarter area.
