The place is great and affordable walking to French Quarter or Bourbon Street is about two blocks but you have to go through some sketchy folks. Make sure you stop by the grocery store and buy groceries. It will help save some money if your on a budget. I do not suggest to bring your children it’s an adult atmosphere at night. There is more to Louisiana than the French Quarter. The bus system is awesome and cheap. If you want get some great Asian cuisine take the ferry for $2 across the Mississippi River, if not you can pay for dinner and a ride for approximately $80-$100.
