Leda's place was a perfect location to explore all of New Orleans. We stayed during Mardi Gras and it was the perfect spot to catch the parades on St. Charles since it is only one block away. The rest of the time, getting into the city was easy since the street car stop is a couple blocks away. Also, this is walking distance to Magazine and Commander's Palace. I would definitely recommend this apartment if you are trying to stay a little out of the fray and want an opportunity to see more than just the French Quarter. For reference, it was about a $12-15 Uber from the quarter to Leda's place. We easily fit 6 adults in the apartment, but keep in mind its only one restroom.
Thanks Leda and Don!
