Our stay at Geaux Galvez with Arinn was amazing! We frequent the city and always stay in the Quarter or Garden Districts which has it's appeal but if you are looking for a submersion experience this little neighborhood right outside the beaten tourist path is perfect. Only a 10-15 minute Uber to everything flashy yet situated in a neighborhood of friendly residents and small business owners giving you the opportunity to experience the day to day life of the people who make the city great! The cottage is stunning and bright with the right touch of modern updates and comforts while care was taken to preserve the historic feel and foundation of an old New Orleans' home. The cottage came fully stocked and complete with a gift basket designed to make the famous New Orleans Hurricane!!! You must visit nearby Bayou Rd where you will find a small but bustling small business scene. Da Half Shell owned by our new friend Charles is a great spot for a delicious authentic Cajun/Creole lunch dish or Happy Hour. Whiskey and Sticks offers a cozy setting for cocktails and cigars and both have wonderful patio seating in their back courtyards. On Bayou Rd we experienced the best conversations and heard wonderful stories about the neighborhood since no one there seems to have ever met a stranger.
