My friends and I were stayed at Paula's beautiful home for the weekend. Roughly a block and half away, there is a tram that goes directly to French quarter (about a 15 min ride). There are also a few restaurants, (walkable) nearby. Car services (Lyft/uber) are also available and did not cost much ($15-$20)from and to the major spots/sites (cemetery/French quarter/bourbon/magazine street). Most importantly, we arrived to New Orleans early morning on Saturday and Paula was kind enough to let us leave our luggage at the house hours before check in. This was a big one for us since we were on a time constraint and could not have imagined roaming the city with all the luggage. Thanks Paula!
