What an absolutely beautiful home. The porch affords you the perfect sitting view of the neighborhood. Terranovas Supermarket was a must for anyone coming here. The family owned and operated market was a gem.
This house is close enough to walk to the quarter, taking only a short while. We used pick up services to get us down there at an expensive $12 to 25 per ride. So we walked sometimes or parked in Treme and then walked the rest of the way.
When you're looking for something to do make sure you take advantage of the Experience in New Orleans - Carlos' Mural tour. This event walks you down the Mural Mile and really gives you a sense of what the art is like. Make sure you get the private tour and ask for Tyler!
Brief note on event: From the bustling streets of the 9th Ward to the edge of the historic French Quarter, come experience towering murals and hidden street art while learning about the city's underground art scene. Discover a side of New Orleans that never made it into commercial travel guides on one of the most colorful tours in the city.
The event is a must!
If you are a writer make sure to use the Experience in New Orleans hosted by Steven Scaffini. This private writing lesson takes you from no novel/play/movie script to finished product. Laying out the roadmap to get there. Steven is intense, great, friendly, warm and caring. He takes the time to really work with you. I am a writer, my style is discovery. Steven's is planning it out. Using his technique I will write my next book and have it out and ready in under a year.
Forget the French Quarter... yes do Jackson Square but Bourbon Street.. bah... ask to be taken to Frenchman's Street, it's New Bourbon! Great places for Jazz... a bit pricey but well worth it.
I have to say, this house allowed us to have a family trip, the first for my brothers and I. It was the best trip of my life.
