I heard somewhere that New Orleans has many spaces that are hidden from view, and Kristen’s cottage is one of them. Located just off of St. Charles Street, there is a quaint two story cottage which resides behind Kristen's house, only accessible from a secure steel door on the side; a narrow passage way, complete with a cherub angel overlooking, leading to a secret, lush courtyard between the two. The guest cottage is a delight making its visitors feel they are in a tranquil oasis. The bedroom was extremely comfortable with plenty of storage, the bathroom had plenty of extra towels and travel essentials, and the kitchenette was well stocked to meet any needs. We enjoyed eating breakfast in the courtyard listening to the birds and the tinkling of a fountain. The cottage is quiet at night and is beautiful, clean, and tastefully decorated. A nice touch is the record player in the room. We had fun spinning a few records while relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Kristen was a warm and welcoming host! When our flight was canceled the morning we were to leave, Kristen was easy to get a hold of and flexible with our changing travel plans. When we did arrive, she had made sure we had everything we needed. She had New Orleans literature in the room for us, as well as some snacks and drinks. In addition, since she knew it was our anniversary she also include a bottle of wine and a card. She is such a sweet and thoughtful host! She had great tips on places to go and when we found ourselves in need of something she was quick to lend us what was needed. The guest cottage is very conveniently located in a lovely neighborhood close to the streetcar, restaurants and stores. We highly recommend Kristen’s guest cottage and would absolutely love to come back for another visit!
