This is an ideal location if you want to get a great feel for what New Orleans has to offer. There are lots of great restaurants/bars/cafes within walking distance. Frenchmen Street, where you'll find plenty of live music seven days a week, is just a few blocks west and the French Quarter is just a few blocks past that. Walk a little ways west and you'll find yourself in the lovely Bywater neighborhood. The place itself was very charming and felt like home as soon as I walked in. Kathleen was a gracious host and made my dog and I feel welcome. She was very responsive if I had any questions or issues but I was also allowed all the privacy that I needed. I look forward to staying there again.
