We absolutely loved our stay at April and Ken's place! The building is charming and the modern updates they've made are perfect (I loved the colorful walls and artwork!). It's an easy Lyft ride or very cool 25 mins walk down Esplanade past historic homes to Decatur; from there you can turn right toward the main French Quarter, or go left to Frenchmen, where apparently the locals prefer to hang out. On your walk you'll pass Buffa's (pronounced Boo-fa's) - get the shrimp creole and red beans and rice w/ sausage - best food we had on our trip, and we ate some really good food over our three days in NOLA. You'll also pass Lil' Dizzy's Cafe on Esplanade and we recommend it for a terrific AYCE brunch. We packed a lot into our three days and already have a list of to-dos for our next visit. We would definitely stay at April and Ken's place again!
