Important Notes for Future Visitors at this Location...
1. While you can Uber for a under ten bucks, it truly is a location that you can walk to/from. We were able to walk to all of our desired locations - Royal St, Bourbon, Frenchman, the river, Decatur, St Claud, the casino, French Market - from this home. The distances ranged from 10-35min walks. We walked as a group of four (2m2w) in day light and night and felt mostly safe the entire time. Just be smart/aware. I would say though that while the walking was simple it wouldn’t be in heels - not just the distances, but more so the uneven sidewalks so bring your tennis shoes!
2. This is a traditional shot gun home - to outsiders like myself - this means the first “bedroom” is right when you walk in the front door. So be prepared to make the early risers sleep out there since they don’t have as private of a sleep as the back bedroom that has a door. (We went in late November. The weather was AMAZING for walking and this street was quiet day and night)
3. The homes and neighborhoods and locals are just beautiful. Take loads of time to explore. It was very easy to get around - we never got lost or turned around. Our faves were shopping on Royal and jazz night life on Frenchman. I can’t pick fave foods - it was all amazing. As always, we recommend buying local, renting local, and touring local. (Very much enjoyed Jonathan Weiss Dark Arts Tour)
