This definitely rustic, patina charm and a botanical oasis on the edge of Treme and French Quarter - we so loved the ease Bea's place offered us in getting around during our first visit to NOLA! We easily walked to and from Frenchmen street/French Quarter and the 91 bus line on Esplanade to get us all over the rest of the city. While the courtyard and towering bamboo offers lots of privacy, my only caution is for folks to be realistic about noise levels - there are neighbors, bars and busy main streets nearby - so we definitely heard loud cars and street racing plus excited conversations at various points of the evening. But that's city living for you!
