My mom and I wanted to stay in a place that was located near a lot of attractions but not right in the mix, and this was perfect. We had fun walking into the French Quarter and then walking to Frenchmen St in Marigny. I thought we might take a car back later when it got dark, but we walked home safely. The Shotgun house is cute and clean. Barrett is a historian and did Ana amazing job telling us about the history of Treme and gave us plenty of destination and transportation suggestions.
