First time in New Orleans, and already want to visit the Parks-Bowman Mansion, again. It's a peaceful sanctuary in a beautiful, historic neighborhood. Walking distance to good food, markets, shops, and short rides on the street car to parks, music, everything. This is to be our new home away from home. Bill and Adrienne offer excellent insight into the city's music, cuisine, and history, and we are happy to have made friends with them. We stayed in the Library Room because we love books and music. So cool! The porch itself is a hidden gem!
