Stayed here and Reggies other apartment in the same building for a convention with my team. Its perfectly located to the convention center, about 7 blocks. And its not too bad of a walk to the FQ, and plenty of restaurants near by. I would imagine this would be a perfect spot for mardi gras, because its quiet! only complaint is the pull out couches were SO uncomfortable and the airmattress had a hole in it. Everything else was good for what we needed!
