A nice place far enough away to escape the crowds but close enough to drive to bourbon st, cafe du monde, and other sights. Joe was quick to answer and had some great suggestions of local places to visit. Beware that there is a train, it comes at night usually only 1-2 times . We didn't have a problem with it and for the location it's well worth the value. Just be aware that for children or very light sleepers it may be a bother. Ear plugs are provided though. I hope this helps and who ever stays here has as great a time as we did .
