The house was great, and had all of the old New Orleans charm, but with modern conveniences.
I spent my first afternoon there walking through the park to Mass at 6:00 p.m., at Holy Name of Jesus on St. Charles. What a feast for the eyes was this church, located on the campus of Loyola University! The pastor was warm and welcoming. The walk back to the house was pleasant because it had cooled down a bit.
I walked to the zoo the next morning . Again, half the fun was getting there! In the afternoon I had a mani-pedi on Magazine Street, and then went for dinner at Gris-Gris.
That’s the other great thing about this VRBO … Magazine Street and the Warehouse District are just around the corner and down the street.
The pool was refreshing after a lot of walking in the steamy French Quarter, where I spent my third day. The courtyard is lush and shaded by big trees.
The owner provides a supply of shampoos, body wash, and lotion, with plenty of big thirsty towels. There is a nice coffee blend for your wake-up enjoyment. I loved having a full-sized washer and dryer to do laundry before packing up for home.
The neighborhood is very quiet, and there is not much going on, except for the people out jogging or walking their dogs. If peace and tranquillity are what you’re needing, you will find that here!
All in all, a lovely place for a getaway, and I would definitely book this one again.
