From the moment you walk into the front parlor... the 14' ceilings, majestic 10' pocket doors, 150 year old moldings, wrought iron staircase banisters and beautiful crystal chandeliers, to the original artwork by Talmadge's sister and the beautiful pictures of their family on the walls...you know you're in historic New Orleans!! And on Sunday afternoons, Second Line passes directly in front of the house! It's definitely an experience not to miss!
And then, as you walk through the house and see all of the personal touches, the full coffee bar, with a small refrigerator in the main dining room, and then, just down the hall, the fully equipped, modern kitchen is filled with everything you could possibly need (including drinks, fresh milk, oj, bagels, eggs and various snacks) you realize you may never want to leave the house!
And, be sure to check online, there are delivery services for just about anything you could possibly want... including alcohol!
Talmadge text once a day to make sure we had everything we needed and when we met with her on the last day of our visit, my only regret was not meeting her sooner! I would have loved spending more time with her and benefit from her insights to the city!
I cannot express how much I loved our experience with Talmadge. She definitely goes above and beyond to make your vacation one to remember!
There is absolutely NO excuse for staying at a hotel in New Orleans, if this house is available!
