Holiday Rental Description

For a charming getaway in New Orleans, this home could be just the thing. With a traditional front porch, you'll feel every bit of this city's Southern charm. Sipping on your morning coffee here as you watch this leafy neighbourhood wake up is particularly lovely. And with such friendly locals, you're sure to get a "good morning" or two.

One of the great things about New Orleans, aside from the music, culture, food, and lots more, is the streetcar system. Not only do the cute streetcars transport you back in time, but they're also super handy. Hop on a streetcar and within twenty minutes you'll be in the heart of the famous French Quarter. There's so much to see here, you could spend days exploring it all. Pop into the many museums, galleries, and coffee shops, before making your way to the French Market. This market is the oldest of its kind in the United States selling everything from local handicrafts to gourmet foods – truly a must-see. Then, spend time in Jackson Square, sipping on a glass of wine on the sidelines as you admire the street performers.

When it comes to dinnertime, your island kitchen table is ideal for gathering the family around for a relaxed dinner. Playing cards and having some drinks while the fireplace crackles on is a lovely way to round off a day in the Big Easy. And if you don't want to cook (you're on holiday after all!), you're just a twenty-minute streetcar ride or a six-minute drive to Bourbon Street. There, you can try out all the Gumbo, jambalaya, and po'boys you can muster. And there are plenty of bluesy bars and jazz clubs to sip a Sazerac or two after dinner.
