Blanche DuBois

This penthouse condo in New Orleans is perfectly situated to experience the colourful and musical vibrancy of the city. Begin your mornings with a Creole breakfast of Bananas Foster French toast at the kitchen’s breakfast bar to give yourself plenty of energy for a packed day of exploring.

Hop on the famous St. Charles Streetcar – a short two-minute walk from your door – and ride it around the city. Explore the French Quarter – reachable in twenty-seven minutes, or enjoy some jazz music on Bourbon Street – just twenty-one minutes away. Reachable in eighteen minutes on public transport, you will also find Magazine Street, which is the perfect spot for some of the country’s best dining options, music venues, and lively nightlife. Closer to home, you can wander up the street from your door and discover plenty of options, from high-end dining to ‘hole-in-the-wall’ gems that locals frequent.

After a busy day of exploring, the high-end, comfortable sofa provides the perfect place to put your feet up, relax, and perhaps enjoy a good book. We would highly recommend finding one that takes you on a journey up the Mississippi River or reading the play ‘A Street Car Named Desire’ to truly immerse yourself in this incredible setting.
