Book it! You are located half a block from the French Quarter while the Frenchmen neighborhood itself is marvelously vibrant. There's great people watching from the front covered porch. If you drive or rent a vehicle, parking directly outside the house was never a problem. We typically started our day by walking (half a block) to Esplanade, then strolling to the flea market, Cafe du Monde, Jackson Square, or the Riverwalk. A wonderful location. 5 stars.
