unit #15 is 59 stairs.........no elevator, I am NOT into fitness/walking etc, but I appreciate the fact that since my return I have been doing a 15 minute walk per day. Thank you for the jump start! The location is a couple blocks from Jackson Square-an easy walk, a small stroll to the Farmers market, about 15 minutes to get to Canal Street (near Harrah's) far enough away from things not to be a party street, but close enough to enjoy everything New Orleans has to offer.
