We're located in the Historic Faubourg Marigny area of old New Orleans and just 5 blocks from the French Quarter. Several great restaurants and bars are within walking distance of the house.

At the corner of Esplanade and Decatur you can catch the Riverside Streetcar that will take you past Jackson Square all the way to the Aquarium, Harrah's Casino, and Riverwalk Marketplace. From there you can catch the St. Charles Ave Streetcar which will take you uptown to the Garden District and the Audubon Park and Zoo.

Washington Park

Constructed in the 19th century as a suburban park in the wealthy Creole-populated Faubourg Marigny neighborhood adjacent to the French Quarter. The park is an outstanding example of its era, surrounded by a finely detailed cast iron fence with eight gates, and enclosing a symmetrical planting of very old live oak trees, palms, crepe myrtles, and ground cover.

Frenchman Street

Travel + Leisure magazine (April 2002) named this area one of the best neighborhoods in the USA for its excellent restaurants, bars, and jazz.
