The Magic Cottage was beautiful and comfortable! On a quiet street in a beautiful neighborhood, we felt at home immediately. I got up each morning and ran and felt more than completely safe--I felt welcomed, falling in love at each turn! A great little breakfast place sits around the corner, and other delicious restaurants are all within walking distance, as well as a Walgreens and Whole Foods, etc. for any groceries/forgotten items. This is not in the hubbub of New Orleans--it's about 5 miles from the French Quarter, so if you don't have a car or are looking for being in the excitement, this might not be the place for you. We wanted a place to sit out on the porch and drink coffee and relax in the evenings in quiet. The beds were comfortable and there was a supply of coffee and tea. The back patio was a delicious hideaway. We never met Julia in person, but she checked in with us daily to make sure all was well and provided great dinner and cab suggestions. We'll be back!
