"Excellent location, and nice walk along the water into the French Quarter. We stayed in the main house on the third-floor suite for three nights. The first floor is like a museum, the second floor a couple of nice rooms, and the third floor has two large suites with park view and an up-dated nice shower.

The Vendue

"The property was gorgeous! Our room was decorated in red, white, and black with unique pictures on the walls. There was a bag of pastries and fruit on the door handle every morning which was very nice. My only suggestion would be to change it up daily so it’s different pastries and fruit.
