The owner met us when we arrived with a box of pastries. We were shown the entire place. The kitchen had great appliances. We made breakfast every morning! Being just 3 blocks from St. Charles streetcar was a huge plus. We easily were able to get to Magazine St. (ate at Atchafalaya and Rum House) and The French Quarter (ate at Antoine's). The proximity to Audubon Park and Zoo was nice. You may not put it on your list, but I would recommend the zoo. We also went to the Patriots/Saints game at the dome (drank at Happy's beforehand). Just a great time had by all!
