Great location. Neighborhood locals were friendly. Bars and restaurants were within walking distance. We were fortunate enough to be in the same area that one of the parades began so there were no large crowds. The French market was about a 15 to 30 minute walk depending on what area of the quarter you are wanting to go, however the weather was great which made for a good walk to burn some of the food we ate. Fyi, Although we loved the place we were taken back a little when we noticed there were no curtains in the house for privacy. However, per a conversation with our neighbors (which were super friendly and knew all the good spots to eat) they mentioned they had there side blocked off for this reason. Other then that we would do this spot all over again
