We stayed two nights there as a final stop for our two weeks road trip along the Mississippi River and it was a very good surprise to be able to end our trip on such a high note. We have traveled a lot in our lives but rarely have we encountered such a unique atmosphere. It has to do with the neighborhood, quiet, historic streets with charming old houses. It has to do with the house. Built in 1880. Karen and Kelley have managed to give you the impression that time has stopped there while offering all the convenience of the 21st comfort requirements. Breakfast was a-ma-zing. Karen is a cook, she knows everything about balancing tasty local products with healthy and light requirements.
Three special notes : the private balcony that comes with the room. You will never want to leave. The ferry that brings you to the French quarter. It is not that you can take the ferry, you must take it ! So convenient. And such an experience to sail in five minutes from the hectic streets to a more genuine part of the city. And third, the Old Point Bar, two blocks from the house. A great place with live music, with mostly local customers where you feel you just found the real New Orleans spirit.
