James has a very nice place that is tucked away from the business of the quarter, yet close enough to walk to many places. We walked to the aquarium with no issues. Access to the place was very easy. From the drive in (easy access from the far side of the quarter) to key access (had a separate key with a eye-hook for safe keeping), it is all very easy compared to staying on the Canal St side. The bed slept fantastic (wife has not sleep that good in over a year). James also shared his Netflix account, so we didn't have to worry about trying to set ours up. There is a coffee shop on the corner for coffee and eggs sandwiches. You can either walk or drive to the end of Franklin for minor groceries (Hank's). You can just park at the end of Franklin and make a U-turn to get back (Franklin is a 2-way street, which is uncommon in NOLA). We sacked out too early, but Port of Call will be on our list next time. It was recommended by locals. The street parking is so close, you can see the vehicle from the couch. Super easy, which is what you want on a vacation.
For those concerned with Covid, we ate outside every place except for Hard Rock Cafe (they took temps there and had large enough place with good ventilation). I never felt we put ourselves or others in danger by our actions. We avoided tight places with limited air flow. You can still operate and enjoy life while being smart about it.
We'll definitely be back.
Regards,
Jay
