Great location if you want to be close to all the great craziness that downtown can bring but still be just away from it enough to enjoy this 14th floor condo in all it's glory.
Nearby bar recommendations that don't have the full craziness of central Bourbon Street are Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop - candle lit (really cool!) and my personal favorite Erin Rose - about 50 feet off Bourbon but has a great local atmosphere as well as great local pricing! Drinking was a priority this trip so that's all I've got for y'all!
Would absolutely stay at Krystal & Mandy's place again.
