This location is very close to various restaurants, shops, and downtown life. We loved how close it was for us to walk downtown to Bourbon and Decatur street to visit various restaurants as well as the French Market. The Street Car is very close by so that's an option if you don't rent a car. There is parking on the street and we had no problems finding spots around the block to park when we weren't out and about. Sidney's place is very clean and relatively large for just 2 people! The restaurant downstairs, "Morrows," is very good and we highly recommend that you stop there for at least 1 of your meals. We loved their excellent Sesame Ginger Wings appetizer!
