Ponchartrain landing worked really well for our family vacation. It is about a 10minute drive from the French quarter- we took an Uber there for about $12. They do have a shuttle that goes down there a couple of times a day. The restaurant was good- and has activities/bands on various nights. The area it is located in is very industrial when you drive in- but don't be worried, we felt very safe! The house itself was great- clean and exactly as described.
