My husband and I were looking for a place that was away from the strip and close to more of the local scene. With the use of the Blue Bikes system, this location was ideal for our needs and in such a lovely part of town. We were able to see the city park, go to the French Quarter festival, and visit parts of the city that we would not normally get to see using the bikes. Our hosts provided us all the local information we needed on local restaurants (many in walking distance), places to see, events, and were able to provide input if needed. The place was much larger than we expected, with a very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, and a lovely sitting area where we could relax. Would highly recommend this location if the local scene is more your style, or those that want to be close to the action but still want a quiet place to sleep.
