Our stay in the Library at the Parks-Bowman Mansion was fabulous. My wife and I both love architecture, history and design. The Mansion with its tall ceilings, large rooms, imposing staircase and eclectic furnishings provided a great sense of New Orleans, along with the time we spent strolling around the neighborhood surveying the other impressive and numerous “Garden District” Mansions. The location is very convenient; a short walk to the “desirous” streetcars on St Charles Ave or great eating, shopping and buses on Magazine St. We did not need the use of a car. We walked, took the streetcar, bus, cab and Uber. We bought one day Jazzy Passes online before we arrived (RTA – NOLA Regional Transit Authority), which was as much about making public transit easy as it was cheaper. Make sure you try the Char-Grilled Oysters when you go out to eat.
Our hosts were wonderful; we enjoyed their hospitality, our conversations and their two dogs. They communicated very well, made us feel very welcomed from the first and were very accommodating with fresh ice and advice. Thanks again.

A caution if you are looking for the perfectly homogenized experience, or are not adventurous or have any of the following sensitizes or phobias I suggest looking elsewhere.
-Allergic to Cats or Dogs
-Amathophobia
-Ataxophobia
-Hyperosmia
-Phasmophobia
However, as for me, I will be staying here again the next time I am in New Orleans.
