For our first time in new orleans we deliberately wanted to stay out of the quarter. This stay was a walk through the neighborhood. It is definitely only a 10-15min walk to the trolley, a few blocks further 2 bars and 3 pretty good corner resturants. The street car is easy and cheap to use, but we did walk down to bourbon one night and it only took about 30min. if you are coming back late or early in the dark morning, get a lyft. It was about $10. If i had any issues I could contact the host and get a reply fast and friendly. Overall we liked our stay. It was comfortable inside and had what we needed. Definitely bring walking shoes. I would stay again!
