If you want to get a taste of what New Orleans living is really all about, you can't do any better than the Ravenwood Manor! First off the house is amazing, the owners Susan and David are so warm and welcoming and the neighborhood is by far one of the best in the city.
There are really great dining options all within blocks - Elisabeth's, Markey's, Bayou Bakery - there's so many good spots! If you want to take a little bit more of a stroll, Frenchman Street and The Quarter are a straight shot down Royal.
I'd recommend these digs any day of the week!
