We loved our stay in the Irish Channel! It's nice to be away from the hustle and bustle but your close enough to great shops and restaurants! Magazine street is a short walk away! We did venture down to the French quarter and it was only a $11 Uber ride!
I would recommend The Bulldog for yummy bar food and a huge craft beer selection! Also, be sure to check out Slim Goodies Diner for a yummy southern breakfast! And if your in the mood to stay in Breaux Mart is a wonder grocery store within walking distance!
You really can't go wrong with this place! It was clean, safe, and had everything we needed!
