Jacob’s place is it if you are looking to stay at a quite convenient distance from French quarters. My girlfriend and I walked esplanade ave towards French quarters and it would take us 20-25 mins (slow walking/taking pictures). We figured out bus 91 passes nearby(just download the app or pay the fare cash) as well and it cut that time by more than half to get to and from French quarters. The neighbors were cool, they said hello back whenever we greeted them walking by. Lyft/ uber prices range. For our date night we took one in and it was a 14$ ride (mardi grass week between 6-7pm) not bad if you ask me. Price is reasonable as well.
