We had the best time during our stay at Neil and Nancy's place! The courtyard is so beautiful and peaceful and the bed was soo comfortable. The unit is will situated within easy walking to Magazine Street and a quick drive to the quarter. Things were bustling during Carnival, and it was fun to see the floats driving by. We didn't experience any major issues with the parades, but be sure to plan your schedule accordingly if visiting during this time. We would definitely stay again.
