Erich's place was perfect for what we wanted, a quiet escape from the French Quarter, but with easy access to anywhere in the city. There are great restaurants just around the corner within walking distance. We rented bikes and highly recommend for fun and easy travel. NOLA is surprisingly good for biking so long as you do a little research regarding the bike paths (definitely check out the green way) and bike lanes. Erich's place is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony each evening. After attending Jazz Fest for the weekend and also taking in all the sights and adventures of the city, this was a nice respite and would not hesitate to stay again.
