This is a wonderful place to stay and the Treme deserves delving into. Gwen was a very genteel and gracious hostess. We traveled with our 5 year old and she was kind enough to drive us to the grocery store so that we could have some necessities readily at hand. Great neighborhoods are within an easy 10-15 minute stroll. While there's some ambient noise from I-10 and you may hear some sounds from the suite above, there's nothing like staying in a place with character including the Bearden collages. You are away from the tourist crush of the Quarter but it's easily accessible.
