We rented Rita's house because it was much cheaper than getting a hotel on Halloween weekend. We Ubered everywhere we wanted to see (French Quarter, Bourbon Street, etc) and rates averaged about $10 a ride. We did not rent a car and didn't miss having one. The house is gorgeous and it's in an adorable neighborhood. The shower was amazing. There is no kitchen but there is a fridge and microwave and that worked out perfectly for what we needed for the 4 days we were there. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and people watching. Everyone was very nice to us.
