I had a GREAT time at New Orleans and as well as where I stayed. Ask Charles where you wanna hang out; He's a very polite person and helpful on your travel. Not far away from French Quarter 10~15min, parking near French quarter is quite expensive I think. Using Uber maybe an another option. Anyway! I loved JAZZZZZZZ, and music, hang out on the street, riding bicycles, open up your heart and listen, GREAT PLACE !
