Lucked out this affordable rental was available for a last minute trip (we booked just a few days before arrival). The per night rental price was our deciding factor for selecting this particular rental. That being said, the size of the home and location worked very well for our group of 3 adults. You will find the home very spacious for a 2 bedroom apartment even with only 1 bathroom. Plenty of space for a group to not feel on top of each other. While the finishes are not "luxury", they are all sufficient and usable. Overall the home is very clean and organized and included some convenient extras (a stocked bathroom and some items for breakfast - yay coffee!).
St. Charles Street & the RTA street car line are with in walking distance, 10-15 minutes at a leisurely pace. We walked up just after sunset for dinner for dinner on St. Charles St. on night one and felt safe enough doing so. On our 2nd day we opted to find a free parking space on one of the side streets of St. Charles & hop on the street car since our visit was in the heat and humidity of August. This was the perfect option for us to get to the French Quarter ($9.50 all day travel/parking for 3 people vs. $40 parking in the Quarter) and back to the house cheaply & without being a sweaty mess.
Restaurants & shops of Magazine street are a quick 5 minute drive and plenty of free parking available. We recommend Joey K's restaurant on 7th & Magazine for phenomenal food & affordable prices close to the house. If you're planning on Ruby Slipper for breakfast, put yourself in line with the no-wait app for the Uptown location at 2802 Magazine as you leave the house and you should be seated quickly by the time you drive over from the house.
