The pretty, oak-lined streets of the Lower Garden District are a quiet alternative to New Orleans' buzzing centre. You'll still get the independent restaurants, antique stores and traditional mansion houses that the city is known for, but with a more relaxed backdrop. This home is a true sanctuary, with its quirky patterned couch, hardwood floors and high ceilings that create a stylish yet soothing atmosphere. You'll love cooking up some tasty treats in the kitchen to share with your fellow guests as you refine your sightseeing itinerary – and don't forget to set the scene with some music on the gramophone. From here, it's just a twenty-minute car ride into the iconic French Quarter, where you can hop between the jazz clubs and savour some local Creole and Cajun cuisine. Sports fans can easily catch a game at the Superdome, a twelve-minute drive away, and if you feel like losing yourself in nature for an afternoon then Audubon Park is a twenty-minute walk away.
