If a penthouse apartment in downtown New Orleans sounds like your kind of place, then you'll love this smart home. Split over two floors, it's perfect for couples, business travellers, and even small families who are excited to discover the delights of The Big Easy. The huge windows frame the city views outside, and the exposed brick walls and hardwood floors add a touch of charm. The open-plan set-up is perfect for socialising – you can chat and cook up some traditional Cajun dishes while your guests relax on the huge blue sofa. After dinner, head to your own private terrace to sip an alfresco cocktail as the sun goes down. Or, get competitive with a session in the shared games room – you might even make some new friends. From here, bustling Canal Street is just a block away and serves as the gateway to the world-famous French Quarter. Stroll through the streets admiring the iconic wrought-iron balconies and hanging plants, stopping off at the local jazz clubs to hear some improvised sets. And, if you fancy catching a game, the Superdome is only a twelve-minute walk away from your front door.

About New Orleans
New Orleans is one lively city – whether we’re talking food, candy-coloured architecture or nightlife, there’s nowhere else in the United States – or even the world – quite like this Louisianan cultural mecca. You’ll find indigenous cuisine here that hybridizes Caribbean, African and European influences – so embrace your inner hedonist and dive head first into Gumbo, beignets and po’ boys. It’s a city where jazz is as prevalent...
