Kudos to Nichole and her team at Blue Door. Our stay was outstanding. Comfy beds, super clean home with all the expected conveniences. Look out one balcony – the Mississippi River less than 100 yards, The other balcony and we’re looking at the French Quarter, less all the hustle and noise. Leaving a vehicle onsite was nice but unnecessary. When desired we crossed the street and turned left onto the pedestrian path where we would take a brisk ten minute walk to the ferry.. Crossing the Mississippi for $2.00, far less than Uber fare. Arriving, we found ourselves near Canal & Decatur in the French Quarter. Here we could step onto Riverwalk, step straight onto Decatur St, or walk about three short blocks to the trolley connections for either St Charles Ave or the Canal Street route to City Park.
We spent one day just wandering amongst the streets, pubs and funky cafes of Algiers Point a city founded in 1719. I enjoyed the Katrina breakfast at Tout de Suite Café, an absolutely delicious hamburger at the Dockside Café before having an afternoon drink at the Crown & Anchor English Pub. Finally we capped the day off with an early meal at Tavolino Pizza and Lounge. The best part, of course, was interacting with the locals, an extremely friendly bunch, all.
We find it exciting to brag that we have been to a city founded before the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Truly a five star adventure! We’ll be back.
