Step through the stunning lobby, complete with an elegant chandelier, and cool off from the New Orleans' heat in the beautiful redbrick-enclosed pool at this apartment in the French Quarter – we adore this secluded oasis. Or sip a glass of bourbon on your private balcony as the light fades. This home is full of Southern charm with its hand painted window shutters and wrought-iron balcony – it’s the perfect romantic retreat in the Big Easy. When you’re ready to explore – head to the French Market for beignets and other local delicacies (ten minutes on foot). Jackson Square, a historic park declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and Saint Louis Cathedral, are both a four-minute walk away, as is Bourbon Street with its jazz clubs and cocktail bars. It’s easy to be seduced by the Paris of the South.
