Since I'm not form New Orleans, I don't actually know what a true New Orleans feel is. But this gorgeous mansion seems like the real deal. My room ("the Bayou Suite) was huge.
More important, the owners are good people you can trust. The breakfast coffee, eggs, bacon, and fruit are delicious and fresh.
The home is not in a tourist area, which is why I chose it. If you want tourist stuff like shopping, restaurants, and bars within walking distances, you migjt want to pay more and go elsewhere. As for me, I wanted to get a taste of local New Orleans, and I'd return to The Happy Place anytime.
Highly recommended for travellers looking for somethings special.
