Our family of four loved our stay at Charity's adorable cottage! The space has so much character and is beautifully decorated. We loved living in true New Orleans style for a week! It truly felt like coming home each night.
The house was cozy and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids. Do be aware that in this shotgun style home there are curtains separating the rooms, rather than doors. Despite being near the highway we rarely heard much outside noise. The kitchen was well-equipped, Wifi was speedy and the washer/dryer was so helpful. A basket of toys was such a nice touch for our little one!
The location is very convenient, about a 20 - 25 minute walk to the French Quarter (very doable for our 2 children!). We most enjoyed walking up Magazine and Camp streets, where you'll find many restaurants to enjoy on your way. The streetcar stops a few blocks away, and we did enjoy that but since they come by every 15 minutes or so we often just walked. The wonderful National WW2 Museum is literally down the street as well, so definitely factor that into your vacation plans!
We cannot recommend Bearcat enough for brunch! It's just a few blocks away on Carondolet, right near a streetcar stop. We also enjoyed Ruby Slipper, Taqueria La Lucha, Mais Arepas and Magazine Pizza, all within walking distance. The Old Fashioned from the Rusty Nail down the street was the best one of the trip! There are so many more delicious-looking restaurants nearby and we'll just have to come back again to enjoy them.
Thank you to Charity for a great stay!!
