I spent 8 nights at Parrot Palace and enjoyed every moment there. From the simple comforts of home (plenty of towels, easy access to Laundry on-premises, usable kitchen) to the more modern touches (speedy internet and keyless entry!).
My *walk* each morning to the Convention Center was a breeze. The streetcar into CBD and FQ was just a block away. Oh... and that Colombian restaurant across the street (MAIS Arepas) is NOT to be missed! Late at night, I would easily LYFT back "home" from French Quarter for about $7.
Steven was very communicative and always had "pro tips" to make me feel like a local with great eateries. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give the Parrot Palace is that I will be roosting there again on my next business or personal trip to NOLA!
