Living History: New Orleans' Benachi House 🏛️✨

New Orleans—the birthplace of jazz—is my absolute favorite U.S. city, hands down. Its culture, architecture, food, and music captivate me, but nothing compares to staying in a walking historical landmark: the Benachi House. 🏠 A Glimpse into 1858 Built by Greek cotton merchant Nicolas Benachi for $18,000 (a fortune then!). Greek Revival style—grand columns, soaring ceilings, and antique charm. 🛏️ Modern-Day Time Capsule Current owner restored it in 1982, blending Victorian, Gothic & Rococo furnishings. Airbnb rental: Master suite only ($120/night)—but you’ll feel like owning the whole mansion! Private balcony = perfect for evening drinks. 🍷 Separate caretaker’s loft (no awkward run-ins). 📍 Location Perks 15 mins to French Quarter + free parking in the garden. Wedding venue by day, your private palace by night. 🦞 NOLA Truth Bombs No "New Orleans wings" (sorry, world). But... crawfish capital of the U.S.! 🦞🎉 📍 2257 Bayou Rd, New Orleans, LA 70119 #NOLA #HistoricHomes #StayLikeRoyalty #JazzCity #TravelThrowback 🎷🏡
