My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights at the Parks-Bowman mansion. We really loved our stay! The library room had so many incredible books. Adrienne also has a really extensive cd and dvd collection. The private balcony was really nice. Parking is easy, right next to the house. Whether you have a car or not, it's walking distance to the St. Charles streetcar, the bus, and Magazine St. Also very close to Commanders Palace. Adrienne was a very friendly and accommodating host. My boyfriend's favorite thing was her 2 friendly dogs! They were so sweet. We both found the bed very comfortable as well. I would definitely stay there again!
