Piano Man

Although just four blocks away from raucous Bourbon Street, this chic New Orleans apartment is a haven of calm. Exposed red brick walls lend an industrial vibe, while the sleek wooden floors, stark white marble bathrooms and contemporary furniture add a modern twist. An exceptionally long breakfast bar that seats eight makes the kitchen ideal for enjoying drinks while making dinner. The shared lounge downstairs is a little more Mardi Gras than the apartment, with vibrant red curtains and colourful art on the walls. Tinkle the ivories at the grand piano as the dappled sunlight ebbs and flows through the large windows, or head out to immerse yourself in a heady mix of bars and restaurants in the French Quarter.
