Louisiana Iris

With its neutral colour palette, lovingly restored century-old wood floors and clutter-free spaces, this apartment provides calm away from the throbbing French Quarter. There’s everything you need to make you feel right at ease: hotel-quality beds dressed in crisp white linens, a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking up Southern-style dishes and a private balcony that’s perfect for a couple of sundowners.

Out the back, a communal pool helps keeps things cool on humid afternoons. After a refreshing dip and an ice-cold soda, catch the streetcar from St Charles Avenue (one block from your building) to the trendy Warehouse District. Peruse the art galleries that line Julia Street before enjoying a slap-up feast in a BBQ joint. Stroll around the Crescent City Farmers Market or succumb to the frenetic energy of Bourbon Street, less than a ten-minute drive away.
