Karen and Casa Pelican were great! My wife and I stayed two night and it was our first trip to the other side of the river in New Orleans. As Karen said, it was a very easy walk from the house to the ferry (the ferry drops you off very close to Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter). We found a great place to eat about 2 blocks from the house - I don't remember the name but a chef basically makes food out of his house and you pick it up to go.

Casa Pelican itself was in a quite neighborhood and very clean. The bed was super comfortable, the bathroom has a HUGE claw foot tub and the wrap around deck is great for relaxing on. Karen is a fantastic cook and the pancake and sausage breakfast was far better than any restaurant breakfast. We flew out very early the morning after our second night and Karen made a to-go order of banana bread for us that was equally as good.

We will certainly stay again on future trips!
