We enjoyed the house, 8 of us stayed there. Magazine Street is 6 miles of shops and restaurants. Lots to explore. This location is close by the Garden District and the trolly the runs the length of the main road which is the main route for Mardi Gras. Whole Foods is a short walk as well for snacks/drinks you may want for the house. To get to Frenchman Street, or the French Quarter it averages a $18 uber/Lyft Ride one way. We were fine with it, but if you’re on a budget, be sure to add that in.
