We stayed 4 nights. It was our first visit to New Orleans. We're not partiers or experts at driving in metropolitan areas. Erik's Place was easy to drive to and had street parking. Once there, we were a 2 minute walk to the streetcar. We didn't have to drive at all (which was a relief because traffic was crazy and we weren't even there during a peak time).
It's right on the edge of the Garden District. Not the nicest part of town, but convenient with plenty of food options nearby.
Check in/check out instructions were easy. We would stay there again.
