Brandon's place was in Mid City, less than 2 miless away from FQ. The trolley is just a few blocks away which can take you to just about anywhere. I signed up for the bike rentals that NO has, so convenient for all that travel to/from the city center. There are a lot good places nearby to eat so you're never too far. There's a beer/wine garden close by as well which could get loud, but never as loud as that of the FQ. Brandon's place was super clean and conveniently located and his friend Truedell is very helpful with tips around the area. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend the place.
