I decided to have a staycation to be a tourist in my own city. Booked Jenee’s place to be near the French Quarter but without the hustle and bustle and it was perfect! The unit was newly renovated and spotless. I loved the homey touches Jenee added (like the dark towels to remove makeup lol). Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine was very pleasant. Folks on the block gave a neighborly wave but weren’t invasive. This block is exclusively residential and at night all I heard was the sound of cicadas in the trees.
Taking the ferry was super easy and it dropped off right on Canal street.
The French Quarter and downtown were an easy walk. The nearby levee is great for walkers/runners or people just looking to take in the skyline and watch the boats travel on the Mississippi. I took an Uber for a dinner reservation on Magazine Street. My Uber got there pretty quick. If you’re unable to take the ferry and have to take the bridge the ride isn’t long at all and from the top of the bridge you can see an amazing view of the city. Otherwise, I was a pedestrian the entire time and got along fine.
The neighborhood is great. I had breakfast at a sweet little cafe around the corner and later an early dinner/happy hour at the pizza place in the next block over. I loved walking around the neighborhood and soaking up the charm.
I will be recommending Jenee’s place when my friends and family come to visit, and I look forward to my next trip to The Point!
