It's no mean feat creating a pocket of calm in the middle of the bustling Big Easy, but that's exactly what this home is. Flooded with lots of natural light invited in through vast framed windows, the living area is bright and roomy. The traditional NOLA building is a picture of rustic charm and modern comfort with red-brick walls nodding to the city's historic roots, while the quirky light shades, chic yellow breakfast bar stools and sleek minimalist furnishings are luxe twenty-first-century living. Rise and shine with a coffee in the polished black and white kitchen or work up a sweat in the downstairs gym. Map out your day's adventure in the cosy living room or pull up a chair in the lobby lounge. Ready to take it all in? With just a 15-minute walk to the oh-so-trendy French Quarter, you're perfectly placed for mooching around, browsing the boutiques and sampling the local cuisine. As evening draws in, there's only one place to be – Bourbon Street's round-the-clock nightlife and live jazz clubs are not to be missed.
