We stumbled across this listing for a weekend at Mardi Gras and could not have been happier with our choice! We were within walking distance to many parades and so many restaurants and stores. The area is beautiful with lots of character! It is just far enough away from everything to avoid noise at night. This was definitely a more family friendly area for Mardi Gras and was not as crowded as the downtown and French quarter areas! We would highly recommend this place to anyone!
