Kay has a great place in a convenient location. A quick walk can get you to St Charles Avenue with several restaurants and a streetcar. Its also quick to a bus route that got me to my conference. Kay acquired a bus route map so I could avoid the 25 minute walk. You can buy multi-day transit passes at the Walgreen on St Charles Street. If you like to run, many locals run along the streetcar path but a short drive away is Audubon Park which is scenic and has a paved 2 mile path. I'll definitely consider staying there again if I make it back to New Orleans.
