Located just a ten-minute walk from the heart of the evocative French Quarter, this stylish pad is the perfect base from which to explore the best of New Orleans. An abundance of light pours through the huge shuttered windows and draws attention to the home’s striking features – we love the exposed brick walls and solid wood flooring here. After an uninterrupted sleep in the big, comfortable beds, head to the communal gym for an energising workout – the precursor to an eventful day in the streets of the city’s oldest neighbourhood. Once you’re out and about, make a beeline for the arty Warehouse District or take a moment to relax at Woldenberg Park. In the evening, there's no better place to go than Bourbon Street, with its inviting Cajun restaurants, electrifying jazz bars and vibrant cultural legacy.
