This is exactly what we needed for our stay. The main attractions were a quick car ride away, or you can take the trolley a couple of blocks away. As a minimalist packer, the washer and dryer were necessary. The location is a bit iffy at night, but the security system made us feel secure. The only issue was that the air conditioner set off my allergies but the place was a great value and had easy access to everything in New Orleans.
