This place should be your first choice if you’re heading to New Orleans. An incredible garden and fully stocked, welcoming apartment in Faubourg St John almost makes it hard to get out and explore. Not to mention Herb has the lowdown on the best local spots and will steer you away from tourist traps and toward more authentic experiences. Walk 8 blocks to the New Orleans museum of art (!!!) and enjoy all that the surrounding city park has to offer. From there take the trolley into the French quarter like we did, or enjoy the neighborhood! Cafe degas, 1000 figs, and canseco’s market for local groceries were a few things we loved.
Herb has been at the bed and breakfast game since before the internet. And he keeps a clean and thoroughly sanitized house.
We loved the yard so much that we spent the evening in back and ordered some take in, and ended up making new friends of our hosts.
We’ll be back as soon as we have a reasonable excuse.
