Tim's place is amazing. The location can't be beat if you want to be near the garden district and all that magazine street has to offer. You're also within walking distance to the St. Charles street car which will get you around to other parts as well. Everywhere we ate on Magazine street was great and walking down it was grade-A architecture viewing.
I also spent many a morning reading on the front porch. Weather was amazing in November. Stay here is you like being close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood.
