This historic New Orleans home is packed with all the period features you'd hope to find in a home in the Big Easy. Original wood floors, exposed brick walls and ornate fireplaces sit beneath soaring double-height ceilings, making this stunning home feel even bigger than its footprint. The central communal spaces benefit from an open layout that runs from the front to the back of the house, meaning that those areas feel slightly separated, so you can enjoy your own space while still being able to hold a conversation. Elsewhere, two gorgeous bedrooms follow a similar theme to the rest of the house, with a primarily white colour palette and a couple of well-chosen pieces of furniture adding a touch of flair. While away, some time people-watching from the front porch. And when you want to get involved in the action, Freret Street is just metres away. Here, kerbside cafes, chic bistros, speakeasy cocktail bars and live music venues are found side by side, meaning you won't have to venture far for entertainment. If you're lucky enough to be visiting on the first Saturday of the month, there's an art market with music, local craftspeople and mouthwatering morsels showing New Orleans' reputation as... a destination for food lovers. Elsewhere, NOLA's historic French Quarter is approximately 3 miles away. It's the city's cultural centre and a must-see on any trip to New Orleans.

About Louisiana
Whereas some places in the U.S. can appear to be monotonous at times, Louisiana may very well give you a bit of culture shock. With a unique history of at one time being a French Colony; African-American, French, Creole, and Cajun cultures converge to create one of the most vibrant states in the nation. Most notably, Louisiana is home to New Orleans, aka “The Big Easy”, where it is indeed...
