You could not ask for a better location in New Orleans or a kinder host than Adrienne. We had a wonderful time staying with her in the mansion, and she was so thoughtful to provide extra touches for this pregnant lady, including a box fan when it was a bit warm in the room. The house is authentically Garden District, and convenient to shops and cafes on Magazine Street, the St. Charles Ave. streetcar, the famous Commander's Palace restaurant, and a coffee shop and bookstore just a block away. Street parking was never a problem and we found everything walkable, even in my "condition"!
