We were visiting family in the area and stayed here a week. We did have a car and had no trouble parking but you do not need a car at all. This unit is located on a quiet residential street with lots of pretty NOLA homes but only half a block from Canal, a main thoroughfare with a streetcar that quickly and inexpensively gets you to the heart of the action in the French Quarter, etc. This unit in on the first floor and there are no stairs at all which made it easy to move our luggage in and out. It was a quiet stay, clean and comfortable with plenty of kitchen items for the meals we made. The unit is also has spacious bedrooms, kitchen and living area and a good size bath. It was tastefully decorated for the holidays which made a nice, festive atmosphere. I would stay here again!.
