Gwen's Holistic House is beautiful and creative and eccentric and unique and historical and perfectly New Orleans. I can't imagine a better place to feel you're truly experiencing NOLA. Gwen's whole life is out on display downstairs and it all needs treating with respect as Gwen's family home since 1942. It isnt a hotel or B&B, but where else could you find bird song and waterfalls in the dining room? It's an easy 15 min walk from the French Quarter and right down to Jackson Square. It's just a couple of minutes walk from Louis Armstrong Park and Congo Square where it all began. There are plenty of food places in walking distance nearby. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean and tidy. You may need to bring plates and glasses etc. if you want to self cater as facilities are limited. Gwen lives in another, smaller building in the garden out back. Recommended and we would go again in a heartbeat.
