The Parks-Bowman mansion is an eclectic and gorgeous home in the Garden District-- short walking distance to Magazine Street, St Charles, and Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. The home is filled wall to wall with numerous antiques and curiosities. There are two friendly dogs who are very quiet and some cats but they don't roam the house. Adrienne was a very accommodating host and provided reading material about the mansion as well as a list of restaurant recommendations among other NOLA guides. I stayed in the Haunted Bedroom which is on the third floor and is filled with interesting books and there's an N64! My stay was during a very windy day and the windows are single pane which made for a bit of a draft and howling wind which helped create a nice haunted feeling. Fortunately I was too tired to think too much of it :) Overall a great experience for someone looking for anything but ordinary!
