When you arrive at Carrie’s house apartment, you immediately find amazing the windowed door giving onto a patio, actually it’s as shown on the picture, a cool and zen place to sit and have a coffee. And then you discover how clean and nicely thought the rest of the place is.
Also, Carrie's little hand-written message on the table was most appreciated after our long delayed trip.
What’s more it's gorgeously easy to get in her appartment , no keys, just a code number!
It’s located in a quiet surrounding, 2 streets from French street and all the great places where you can hear jazz music , eat, be part of the lively New Orleans.
Also, and that was absolutely perfect, it's 5mn from the streetcar which takes you along the Mississipi down to Canal street, where you can take another streetcar to other places. These streetcars are a great help when you’re fed up to walk all the way down to canal street or back from it, loaded with shopping :))) . Oh yes! Great experience these little fabulous streetcars! Great comfort Carrie's place after the lively nights in the streets, and so close to everything!
May I give you 2 tips : 1) There's a shop not far from the apartment if you need to buy food, mostly "organic food", just ask anyone near the place, they'll be delighted to explain, because that's how everybody we met is in New Orleans : friendly, helpful, and delighted to speak to you. 2) In Carrie's street (Chartres street) we've also experienced a place where to have a fabulous breakfast or lunch : Cake café and bakery, can't describe how lovely this place is and how good the food they serve is.
Thank you Carrie, we loved being at your place, the week we spent went too fast!
