We had a great time in NOLA. French Quarter/French Market/ Louis Armstrong Park, all walking distance from the cottage yet not in the middle of the party scene. With that being said we were able to get good rest at night in this private little space.
We did decide to rent a vehicle as we wanted to explore areas that weren't walking distance (plantations, swamp tours, restaurants not located in the French Quarter) and although we had no problem finding a space to park, keep in mind streets are a bit narrow.
We also got suggestions and heads up on parades by our host which was really nice of them.
We are looking forward to return again outside of the Mardi Gras season to continue our NOLA foodie journey!
