My wife, Kate, and I had the pleasure of meeting and Adrienne and Bill this past weekend at their wonderful home. Adrienne was an amazing host. She greeted us when we arrived from the airport late Thursday night and showed us to our wonderful bedroom on the second floor of the house. My wife and I had a wonderful time in New Orleans, but one of the highlights was spending the mornings drinking coffee with Adrienne on her front porch. Adrienne has many great stories to share and is a great conversationalist. She also shared with us many great things to go and see that most folks wouldn't know about.

Adrienne struck the right balance of hosting us and also allowing us to be independent and explore the city. However, after meeting Adrienne our only regret was not spending more time with her. The house is in an amazing location close to Magazine St. and around the corner from Commander's Palace. Not to mention a short streetcar ride from the French Quarter. I highly recommend the Parks-Bowman Mansion and staying with Adrienne. It was a great time.
