If you want a more peaceful location that's near lots of shops and amazing restaurants, then definitely stay here! Marine Layer's location is cute and trendy and was a great addition to our trip. There were so many amenities and there were fun little games in the backyard (we didn't have any time to play them but loved that they were there as options). It's a short walk up to the St. Charles street car which takes you all the way downtown and it's an incredible location for exploring Magazine St. Overall, our stay was awesome and it was a spectacular first trip to New Orleans!
