20 minute walk to the south is the French Quarter. 20 minute walk to the north is the Fait Grounds race track. This is quintessential New Orleans. Rental bikes nearby, lots of charm, just a very great place to stay. Justin is a great host. Even though you are in a shared space, there definitely was plenty of privacy. But he was always available if you had a question or needed something. The dog is totally awesome. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and will be back.
