We took a trip this past weekend May 27-29 to New Orlean's and stayed at the Duchess. The pictures do not do this place justice! It is beautiful! It exceeded our expectations. Plenty of space for everyone. The home was very clean. We were able to park in the designated spots right in front of the home. Easy walk to Magazine and bus #11 picks you up 1 block down on the corner of Magazine and Washington which can take you down to Canal St. and also WWII Museum. We also used the streetcar but that is a bit further walk. When we walked down to Magazine, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Discoveries furniture one of the shops I wanted to visit was on that block. Also on that block of Magazine, Another Broken Egg, Brick and Spoon, CC's and Starbucks were located. Overall it was an awesome weekend! Only negative is you may want to bring some paper plates and bowls as there were only a few plates and no bowls.
