The Garden District location could not have been more perfect for our family getaway. We walked to wonderful restaurants (or a short uber/streetcar/bus ride away), cute shops and beignets to die for. But more than anything, this place is perfect because of your hosts, Jan and Marty. They are a true example of Southern hospitality. They love New Orleans, history and know how to have fun...and they are willing to share all of that knowledge with you during your stay. Their recommendations of places to eat/drink/go/tour/visit and how to do it the best way were the icing on our "king cake" of a vacation. And, you get to sit on the front porch for a spell and play with their dog, Esther!
The house is very quiet, the beds are very soft and we felt safe walking around the neighborhood at all times of day/night. There are narrow, old 1880 stairs to the top floor bedrooms, so this is something to keep in mind if that is any issue for you/your co-travelers. If you want a beautiful, historic visit to New Orleans, this is a perfect place. You can go visit the French Quarter, but have peace and quiet and safety here.
