This place is perfect. It's in the By Water neighborhood which is a great local neighborhood, you really get to experience local life. You can bike to anywhere or take a $7-10 taxi into french quarter. We loved all of Carmens recommendations. We ate at Baccanal wine, suis generis, lost love lounge, Country club all within walking distance of her home. We loved being able to wake up and have coffee on the porch in the morning. Beds were comfortable, water was hot. Very happy!
