The French Quarter Nest was as pretty as the pictures and for us, in the perfect location. I brought my daughter and her girlfriend to celebrate her 21st birthday. 3 women, out all day, late into the night and we walked everywhere, and felt perfectly secure. It was just far enough away from the rowdiness of late night Bourbon Street that we always got a good night's sleep but close enough that we easily walked and biked all around the French Quarter. In fact, I really enjoyed my walks through the residential streets, seeing the historic and iconic rows of townhomes and shotgun "shacks" . The Nest was well stocked; so many towels! which was really nice in the heat and humidity of July in NOLA! There are markets close by for any necessities, and the neighborhood was mellow.
