We we in town for only a few nights on a last-minute trip, but Adrienne and her husband we hospitable and knowledgeable hosts. The place is totally unique and filled with an array of amazing art. Situated in the Garden District, the area itself is beautiful and it's an easy trolley car to The Quarter. Our only minor issues were a lack hot water that is probably the nature of such an old home, and a lingering "cat smell" that was probably due to the dogs being inside because of the cold and the cats being quarantined near our room. That said, these were minor issues and we'd highly recommend the Parks-Bowman for a more unique New Orleans experience than a standard hotel room, and cheaper to boot!
