The carriage house behind Matilde and Gustavo's Lower Garden house is perfect for a short stay. The big room has everything you'll need (including both air conditioning and heat--we needed BOTH!) and a comfortable bed and seating/TV area as well as a functional kitchen space. The outdoor yard is beautiful and several cats roam around. We loved the quiet neighborhood, about a half hour walk from crazy Bourbon Street, and there are plenty of good coffee shops a block or 2 away. Be advised that if you intend on cooking and need supplies (and who would do that in NOLA???), you have to have a car, get a cab, or use public transport.
