The Lanaux Mansion was a wonderful place to stay. My girlfriend and I stayed in the cottage and it was just lovely. It was quaint, quiet, and very comfortable. The location is also perfect. It's less than a 10 minute walk to the French Quarter, which is great bc your close to the French Quarter action while still having a quiet place for sleeping at night. It's also a 3 minute walk to Frenchmen St. which is full of awesome live music venues and where a lot of locals hang. Our host Beth was absolutely great as well. She was incredibly communicative, answered any/all questions for us in a timely manner, and was very accommodating when we had to change our reservation dates due to a last minute work commitment changing our travel plans. We would stay here again in a heart beat and recommend you do the same. THE LANAUX MANSION IS AWESOME!
