Sheila's place was a real haven after a busy day across the river. It is cosy, beautiful and very well maintained. Sheila is a great host, welcoming and friendly. Algiers Point is a quiet residential neighbourhood with some good bars, cafes and restaurants. Appetite Repair Shop and the Crown and Anchor were my favourites. (For the ARS join the face book group for info on menus and when the chef is cooking!)
Just two useful things to know:
- Teche is the best road to drive up to get to Red Allen Way (yes lots and lots of holes and cracks in NOLA's roads)
- whilst the ferry is a lovely and super handy way to get to the French quarter (get a jazzy pass!) it stops around 830pm on week nights and also stops in thick fog, which is quite common this time of year. I managed without having to get a bus back over (hour ish) but it was close one evening!
