This is a great location for anyone who wants to experience the best music in New Orleans. Only a few blocks north of the hot spots, we felt safe walking back to the room late at night. It also is conveniently located one block south of Walgreens for any forgotten travel items and the rail stop also a block away and can take you to any location in the city with a few transfers.
We recommend getting a $3 all day pass for the streetcars and other transportation if you plan on exploring the city. Anyone traveling from the Louis Armstrong Airport can also take the airport shuttle for $44 round trip. The Elysian Fields Inn stop is just around the corner and only a couple of minutes from Les and Dionne's.
They are great hosts, getting back to us immediately when we had questions, but also giving us our privacy. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and we had a more relaxing stay than if we would have stayed in a hotel. Check out their recommendations for restaurants and things to do in New Orleans!
