It is the perfect location to stay. The upper middle class neighborhood is full of personality. It is not in downtown which turned out to be a blessing since there is a plethora of great restaurants near by and after a day downtown it is nice not to try something less crowded. City Park in particular has much to explore as well as historical plantations. I recommend Uber when you do wish to explore the French Quarter which is around $10 and only 15 minutes of travel. Scott knows the local hot-spots and shares this knowledge with enthusiasm . The neighbors are also friendly. Parking is ample. I can't think of anything we didn't like and would surely stay again!
