This cottage was in a great location. We went to the nearby St. Roch market everyday...sometimes multiple times a day. There were some great nearby bars and restaurants walking distance and we appreciated that we were away from the French Quarter. We got a much better feeling for where the locals live and go out. But, it's only a 20-30 minute walk from the French Quarter if you are so inclined. Very close to Frenchman's Street and all those great bars and restaurants.
