“Stepping onto Esplanade Avenue, you discover a restored mansion that feels like a graceful journey back in time. High ceilings and the cool air conditioning in the guesthouse suite made for a comfortable stay, and a walk to the French Quarter proved a pleasant experience. The property's garden lounge, a quiet retreat with a fountain and lemon trees, truly captures the city's charm.”
