This place was quite charming. Even though it is located next to a major road and an over pass it was perfectly located. The neighborhood of Tremé is Quintessentially New Orleans. If you want to feel like a local this is the place to be. The best part is it’s centrally located and close to public transit and the French Quarter or just a short lyft/Uber ride away from anything else. While staying here we witnessed a second line and ate amazing fried chicken at the Famous Willie Mae’s along with so many other places.
All that being said there are some things to be aware of. This place is not in a quite neighborhood. It’s next to one of the busiest road in New Orleans and there is an Over pass on top of that. I live next to a busy road and I was still surprised by how loud the road was. Thankfully I came prepared with ear plugs and an eye mask (needed because of the street lights). It is also in the city so if you’ve never been to a large city this may be a culture shock to you.
But all in all we loved it here. Take a walk around the neighborhood and you’ll find out quickly how friendly the people are and how amazing the food is. We highly recommend Fatima’s Cozy Corner, across Claiborne, the baklava is amazing!
