We're local and we truly loved staying at Sue's place for proximity to all the shops/cafes/nightlife on Magazine, Napoleon, and St Charles, as well as proximity to the streetcar line (to get uptown or downtown/FQ easily) and to the big groceries on Tchoup if you need them. Very walkable and safe residential neighborhood, super friendly and warm hosts who live on the other side of the shotgun double. Don't be a tourist and stay in the French Quarter - you'll love the Irish Channel even more for a true taste of local life and culture. Merci beaucoup!
