Location is exactly what we were after (close enough to the tourist areas while also not in them). Trolley line would be handy most of the time but during Mardi Gras the parades shut it down, for us this is a fair trade 😉. Lots of excellent food and drink to be had within easy walking distance, basically everything you could ever want within a 15 minute Uber/Lyft/cab.
Only real issue we had was the wall between the two units was thin and our neighbors were up late and quite loud. In most cases this probably won't be an issue with different/no people next door, but it was for us.
