Chrystal's place is a great budget place to stay if you are a big group heading to New Orleans. We spent a lot of time on Frenchman St, which is about an 8 minute walk, and of course in the French Quarter which is about 10 minutes walking from the house. Check in and out was super easy and the outside key box was helpful for a group of 8 coming and going. Carol's First and Last Stop bar on less than a block from Chrystal's is a great place for just that - a beer on your way into town and a nightcap/dance party on your way home! Carol/Tostie is awesome! Don't expect a whole lot of privacy (no doors on the bedrooms) at Chrystal's, though you will have plenty of towels, eye make-up remover, pillows and places to sleep! Overall it was an awesome spot for the price point!
