Tara’s house was a great place to stay in New Orleans. Two blocks away is the St. Roche Market, an upscale food court with many different options, just perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just note that they do not really open until around 9am except for coffee. There is a small food coop equally close to buy things for breakfast, or snacks. The French Quarter is walkable (a little over a mile), but in the afternoon when it’s hot and humid, you can take the green and then red street car back to within 4 blocks. Other things to note: the air conditioning is from wall units so it takes a bit of time to cool down once you are back, but they do work, the neighborhood is very quiet at night, you are off the street so you don’t hear any cars passing by. All in all I would highly recommend this place to stay.
