We loved exploring the neighborhood. The Broadway Corner Store was a block away So we could pick up drinks and ice. In the morning we would go get coffee and bring it back to enjoy the screened in front porch. We also found a breakfast place only a few blocks away called Riccobonos on Panola St Cafe. The French Toast is amazing! Great folks super friendly! Also easy access to French Quarter by public transportation and Lyft. You can also assess the St Charles Street Car and ride to sightsee. The Purple House also has a great backyard with a lovely outdoor table. The pictures on the review show the house very well. We meet Ryan while enjoying the front porch he said if we needed anything ask he lives next door. Very nice guy. Had a great stay.
