This is a terrific place: Great location, great space, and especially, great hosts. If you're an independent traveler and want to quietly enjoy New Orleans in a grade-A space, this is tough to beat. My most recent stay here was seven days in September for a work trip, and it was the perfect base. It doesn't hurt to have a car if you're moving around the city, but Lyft/Uber make that much less necessary than in the past - and there are lots of places within walking distance. (Plus there are bikes!)
