We really enjoyed our stay with Paula on St Charles Avenue. The 1851 mansion is in the middle of a tree lined street. You step through the front gate into a different era. We stayed on the second floor in apt D. It was spacious. The furnishings were antiques. There was a kitchen area with a stove, microwave, and small fridge. There was a K cup coffeemaker. There are utensils available. The bathroom was large with a claw foot tub. Our favorite part of the room was the balcony. There was ample seating available. We spent several evenings watching the people come down St Charles. We got to see a wedding procession and even joined in the second line celebration. The streetcar was steps from the front door. We found an app that allowed us to buy day passes for $3 each per day. The streetcar will take you to all of the tourist attractions. It eliminates the need for parking (and those $30 per day parking fees.) There was a Freshmarket nearby. Lots of food options...bars too! We loved the Irish Pub. Don't miss Voodoo BBQ! It was wonderful!! Especially the brisket. I would also advise you to look into the New Orleans city pass. For one price you can see as many sites as you can cram into the day. Costco sold the 3 day passes for $129. You buy them online, print the voucher, and take them to this ticket office on Canal Street to exchange for a card.
