Wonderfully historic place in the heart of New Orleans. Bourbon street, Canal street and the French market are right around the corner. We loved the history and uniqueness of this place. I read all the reviews of the stairs, that was no issue for us. The penthouse is on the 4th and 5th floods and let me tell you, I would have braved ten floors for this experience. Couldn’t as for a better location and accommodating hosts. We were forced to leave early because of Ida. We are sure to return and will be staying here again!
