The St Ann Retreat was the perfect choice for our week in New Orleans. It is quiet, safe, directly across the street from the fabulous New Orleans City Park. There among the hundreds of acres of massive moss-laden oaks, lagoons, and boundless nature, one will find the N.O. Museum of Art, Storyland with its many fairy tale interactive displays, Cafe du Monde (beignets and coffee) and so much more, all dissected with miles of paved walkways. There are so many eateries nearby that define the incredible New Orleans cuisine, the only issue is which one to patronize. The unit itself is well-equipped, very well air-conditioned (a NOLA necessity). The kitchen and bath have been updated with all modern conveniences, while the rest of the unit has been preserved and maintained with its original New Orleans character and historic feel. On-street parking was always available right out front on a quiet little street.
I would say that this is not the place for those looking for a French Quarter party house. But if you are visiting NOLA to discover the city, St Ann Retreat is centrally located and a great place to come “home” to at the end of every extraordinary New Orleans day. We absolutely loved it.
